Zipped around Wolverhampton when recording a couple of impressive 5f wins this winter so this track should suit; two solid placed efforts since returned to turf; might find a few better treated though. |

Made all at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February and returned from a break with good third at Thirsk (5f, good) recently, when making the running under Hope Regan; could make another bold bid. |

Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in February but below form since, too free when fourth of six there (5f) following month; needs to bounce back returned to turf. |

All three wins for Kieran Cotter came at Cork (6f-1m) and ended last term with solid C&D fourth behind Unique Journey; dropped out to finish last on seasonal return at Cork early this month, a run which should bring him on. |

All three wins have come at this venue, twice over 6f, the other coming at 1m; liking for the track is enough to make him worth considering on stable/seasonal debut. |

5yo who has had several different stables during his light career; well beaten at Galway last autumn on final two outings but he's well worth a second look today given he's 2-2 on AW, the latest of those wins coming over C&D last February; makes stable debut with new trainer's horses running well. |

Three turf wins include one at Fairyhouse (6f) in 2024; high head-carriage proved his undoing when second off his reduced mark at the same venue on Wednesday; had excuses at the same track last week (upset in stalls, not clear run) when well backed in an apprentice handicap won by Monastere. |

Three turf wins include here (6f) in 2024; yet to hit form on turf this year but has taken a 14lb drop in the handicap and excuses here last week (upset in stalls, not clear run) when well-backed in an apprentice handicap; no form at this trip (from few opportunities) but not one to rule out. |

Verdict
There’s a lot of dead wood here but the market principals are potentially useful. Follow Me sets the standard on his good French form and was recruited for 170,000euros by new connections but the Stack yard has two strong contenders in ECLIPSE EMERALD and Pansy Poe. The selection travelled like a good horse when second to a well-touted Ballydoyle newcomer on his debut here.[Alistair Jones]
