Four turf wins and last won on the AW over 2m in January 2025; beaten a neck off 89 at the Curragh (1m6f, good) last summer, more recently testing ground probably didn't suit at Navan in late March; trip/ground more in his favour here. |

Only one win from 17 turf starts on the Flat but placed seven times; this year's Flat form provides little encouragement, unplaced three times, though that includes twice at Dundalk where the surface has never brought out the best in her. |

Only win came on the Flat in 2023; back to something like her best with a third at Tipperary on penultimate start but not as good at Killarney since and this is tough race to try and break the maiden tag. |

Ordinary form since joining this stable from Adrian Keatley for whom he won two handicaps on quick ground, back-to-back in April 2022; rated 72 at this peak, now down to 48; hard to be confident, but perhaps unwise to write him off. |

1m3f Flat winner who is unexposed over hurdles; missed last year but he attracted support on his comeback at Huntingdon (2m, good; equipment added) 17 days ago and was travelling when he unseated two out; on same mark here and he's an interesting contender for in-form yard. |
