Form & Verdict
Proving a bit expensive to follow in handicaps although only beaten a neck over this trip at Cork by a much-improved sort; left with plenty to do on quicker ground at Leopardstown last time off this mark when staying on late; remains of interest but others may have more improvement in them.

Has placed form at this track; won a 1m4f handicap off 75 at Fairyhouse when last sighted in June; off since and has had a gelding operation; got a 6lb hike for that last win and this drop back to 10.5f not certain to suit on the evidence of his last couple of runs.

Form & Verdict
Two good runs at Dundalk (narrowly beaten by Cheshire Oaks second Port Fairy on second) before winning turf debut in 1m2f Navan maiden last month, battling on well to beat a strong favourite (beaten again since); good chance of getting this longer trip, could well have more improvement in her and this mark doesn't look too onerous.

Navan debut promise last October remains unfulfilled, handicap debut over this trip last month underwhelming, although didn't get much luck in running then; may be a bit high in the handicap just now.

In the reapplied blinkers he beat a fair yardstick at Huntingdon just before Christmas (2m, good to soft) but no shows since then, in a visor and blinkers; looks risky with cheekpieces now turned to.

Back from wind surgery and the blinkers returned when a length winner at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft; 3lb lower) just before Christmas; those aids are reapplied after last time but still not certain to be as good again.

Displayed considerable improvement when switched to handicap hurdles in March, more notably when drawing 10l clear to collect good prize at Ascot (1m7f, good) in March; not in same form on sole appearance during the summer but further progress is not yet out of the question.

Frankel colt shaped well on Cork return before getting off the mark in ordinary Sligo maiden last month, seeing the trip out well; type to keep improving and this opening mark could be exploitable.

Off the mark at the third attempt in an ordinary Sligo maiden over 13.5f in mid-May; weakened late on and hung right in his first handicap at Fairyhouse (1m4f, good) and similar story when beaten 21l at the Curragh last time out; easy ground would be a worry; hard to fancy for now.

Stayed on well to win a 1m5f Sligo maiden last month; opening mark of 80 looked stiff enough and proved beyond him on his handicap bow at Fairyhouse; drop of 1lb might not be sufficient.

Won the 3yo handicap on this card last year off 62; 1lb lower now and should strip fitter for her comeback run at the Curragh when sporting blinkers (removed); draw not perfect but dangerous to dismiss (course form figures at 7f read 221); considered.
