J: Colin Keane

T: Daniel James Murphy

Highly tried last season after his successful debut, running particularly well in a Group 3 at Deauville; remains in the same ownership this year despite changing yards and, although behind Kendall Roy two runs back, he showed bright speed and made all for a narrow success at Naas (6f, good; second-time blinkers); up 5lb but reverting to 5f shouldn't be an issue.

Form & Verdict
Modest form in maidens but it was a major step forward when beaten a neck at Gowran on handicap debut last week with first-time cheekpieces on (retained); gave the impression he was still a bit green and should improve but he's up 6lb and may not appreciate the drop back in trip.

Runner-up on six occasions before belatedly opening account with 6f Curragh win in May on 16th outing, beating subsequent Rockingham winner Keke; has run well in defeat since, latest when staying on fourth on first attempt over 5f at Cork last month; return to 6f should suit and definite player.

Form & Verdict
Winner of a Dundalk maiden in February and was a big eyecatcher over C&D last month when just in front of Nikki Swango; not as good at Cork since but that was over 5f and a return to this C&D will suit; tongue-tie on.

Attracted strong market support on his penultimate run over 7f in February but could only manage third; made amends upped to 1m last time, scoring with a dominant performance; raised 6lb for that win, but he was rated 13lb higher in 2024, so there could be more in him if he continues in good form.

Off the mark in a Cork maiden on return and followed a close up fourth on handicap debut with a neck defeat at in a Fairyhouse handicap 12 days ago; didn't get away cleanly and should be firmly in the mix again, despite 6lb rise.

Form & Verdict
Won Dundalk maiden in December and came on from her return in a fillies' handicap to win over the extended 6f at the Curragh three weeks ago; drop back in trip may not be ideal given that she was strong at the finish but can't be ruled out.
