9st 9lb |
Won nursery at Down Royal (7f, good) last September off 63; still 14lb higher due to getting big hike for fine effort in rated race at Listowel; possibly didn't handle heavy on return at Gowran but might need to come down the weights; up in trip. |

1-7 in his 2yo campaign; won 7f nursery on good ground at Down Royal in September off 63 and is now 17lb higher after getting a big hike for a fine effort in a rated race at Listowel; has been gelded; unproven on very testing ground but is the choice of McMonagle; can't discount. |

C&D winner on his penultimate start and shaped like a return to 7f would suit when fifth over 1m a fortnight ago; in better form than plenty of these and worth considering. |

8st 13lb |
0-10 but he made a good start for yard when chasing home Pomme Pomme at Bath (1m2f, firm) 16 days ago and a big turnaround in the weights isn't to be sniffed at with trainer continuing in fine form. |

0-9 in Ireland (5f-1m2f); yet to encounter ground firmer than good and makes his stable debut having left Mark Fahey since fifth of 11 in a Gowran Park claiming race (1m, soft) last month; cheekpieces back on for blinkers; watch the market. |

AW winner is 1-12 on turf; that win came in a 1m claimer at Gowran (soft) in April when he had Charanda well behind; 9.5f may have stretched him in a Ballinrobe claimer latest; not discounted back at 7f and rain would be a plus. |
