Two C&D wins last season on good and heavy ground; yet to hit top gear this term but has slipped 4lb below his last success and hinted that he might be coming back to form at Ballinrobe on latest; not discounted. |

Three-time Flat winner is 0-5 over hurdles; far from disgraced on debut for this yard at Wexford 11 days ago (2m1f, good); most of best form is on soft ground, however, so could probably do with some rain. |

Six career wins and undergoing a real new lease of life this season with victories in handicaps at Killarney and Leopardstown; 11lb rise for those two wins is not excessive and every chance of going close once more. |

Followed a poor effort at Cork with a 33-1 win at Killarney (1m, good) in May, holding on by a short head after making all; backed that up with a C&D third; no match for Yquem over C&D three weeks ago; could struggle to turn the tables on the in-foal winner. |

One of his three wins came over C&D and has often run well in defeat here, too; second to well-treated types at Galway and Dundalk in later months of last year; well supported into 10-3 when third to Kitty Bear at Gowran last month. |
