10st 2lb |
9yo has won six races including one over C&D; shaped as though still retaining ability when runner up in higher grades than this at Galway and fourth at the Curragh; 2lb below last win and can go well. |

Four of his six wins have come at this venue, two over this trip; ran another sound race when splitting Genuine Article and Titanium at the festival; a bit below his best in two more recent runs; could feature back at his favourite track with a valuable 7lb off. |

C&D winner had Asisaid 1.75l behind when landing a Roscommon handicap on latest (7.5f, soft); up 8lb for that win to 64 but was third in this race last October off 65 so she can be competitive again if in the same form; should go well. |

Only one win from 34 starts but still appeals more than most in a race of modest standard; this season's form has included a C&D second and he is suited by soft ground. |
