Form & Verdict
Is 0-25; a nose defeat in a C&D claimer back in March is the closest he has come to shedding his maiden tag; poor effort on latest at Laytown but return to this venue is a plus and while he is only rated 47, if he repeated the form of his last two C&D runs he could go close.

Form & Verdict
Long-standing maiden was well-beaten in a 6f handicap at Laytown last time out; has run well here over 5f and 6f on a number of occasions and she can't be completely discounted, albeit she would be getting a lot more weight from Ateensoix in a handicap.
