Mudlark has been in and out this season; his last run at Tipperary was definitely an out when getting his ground but finishing 18l behind the winner; his run prior at Listowel was decent when a close fifth (8.5f, heavy); serious stamina concerns at this trip.

Form & Verdict
6yo is another rapid improver from yard in blinding form; 12lb higher than when bolting up over 1m at Thurles; previous win was over 1m1f so this trip might be a bit sharp but hard to oppose given the way he's progressing.

Ex-Irish gelding who hasn't won since 2023 and never been this far (tried over 6f-1m2f by his current trainer); one of his better efforts from 6lb out of the weights at Windsor ten days ago, but is 6lb wrong again under Ruby Criscuolo (0-2 this far).

Form & Verdict
Loves the mud and comes here in great heart after showing improved form over a mile lately, winning at Bellewstown and clear of reminder when second at the Curragh with two of these behind; this trip fine but 8lb hike for latest run is steep for a well exposed 6yo.
