T: A J Martin

French soft ground winner won over 2m at Clonmel last year off 76 and later added AW win; restricted campaign this year, never counting at Galway last time over 1m4f and has twice missed engagements since due to yielding ground; remains a bit high in the handicap.

Reliable performer this season at up to 1m6f; good chance if seeing out this trip following a clear-cut win in an apprentice handicap at Killarney; winning rider now aboard New Year Honours, but Jack Cleary is also good value for his claim.

Four turf wins and last won on the AW over 2m in January 2025; beaten a neck off 89 at the Curragh (1m6f, good) last summer, more recently testing ground probably didn't suit at Navan in late March; trip/ground more in his favour here.

Dual-purpose; 4-17 on turf on the Flat; last won on the AW over 2m in January 2025; beaten a neck off 89 at the Curragh (1m6f, good) in June; has had a recent spin over hurdles so racefit but might need a bit more help from the handicapper; blinkers on.
