9st 6lb |
Not seen since disappointing turf run two months ago but was in good form under Hope Regan beforehand and is suited by this C&D; given a chance by the handicapper and will be dangerous if fully tuned up. |

Prominent racer's three wins have all come at Cork, including this race last year; gradual return to form of late in Curragh contests and seems primed for anther good run here (rain would suit). |

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. |

Most recent of his four wins came over an extended 6f at Limerick in July; finished well after being hampered in a 6f handicap at Laytown; should be ridden prominently from his inside draw and no surprise if he's thereabouts. |

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]
