Two wins in claimers on turf in May 2024; out of form at Dundalk until winning an apprentice handicap there at the beginning of last month; broke slowly at Leopardstown but finished to good effect, beaten under 3l in a 23-runner field; definite chance. |

Promise on both turf starts last year for Ger Lyons but disappointing on return at Dundalk and testing conditions probably not ideal at Gowran last time; ideally wants better ground so will appreciate any drying; draw not great but contender on best form. |

Ex-Irish 5yo who has maintained his consistency in two starts for new stable, creditable fourth at Musselburgh (1m) latest; still has a modest strike-rate but is likely to give his running and again holds frame possibilities. |

Just two wins from his 33 starts (both over 1m last spring on good/yielding) but he was highly consistent last year and ran another big race when going close on last month's stable debut at Newcastle (1m, AW); every chance he'll be bang there once more. |
