Two-time Flat winner, winning back-to-back handicaps at Leopardstown and Sligo last spring; hurdles campaign this season has been fruitless; returns to the Flat from a workable mark so market watch advised. |

Sprang a surprise in this race last year on heavy ground at 33-1, his sole career win; just 1lb higher now; poor on latest but may have needed that run after a 122-day absence; not well drawn but could go well, especially if there is a lot of rain. |

Mild promise in maiden hurdles; first sign of life in handicaps when beaten 10.5l at Cork last time out (18.5f, good to yielding); drops back in trip in her usual hood and needs further improvement to hit the frame here; declared to run here on Saturday. |

Gained his first win on turf when landing a handicap at Bath (1m, good) this month and followed up there over 1m2f (firm; made all) six days ago; holds good claims dropping back in trip under a 4lb penalty but any rain probably won't be ideal. |
