Highly progressive, landing a hat-trick here over 6f in August before finishing fourth in the Bold Lad a month later; rounded off his year with an impressive C&D victory in late September; 11lb higher mark to deal with on his return. |

Highly progressive, completing hat-trick when just holding on here over 6f last month; equally good run when fourth in Bold Lad here 13 days ago; back to minimum trip here and nicely drawn so potentially big player. |

Fine record on the AW track at Dundalk, winning four of his seven races there; poorly drawn when unplaced at Lingfield last Good Friday (when rated 6lb lower); surplus stamina no bad thing on his first visit here but he's 6lb higher than for his latest success and perhaps a shade high in the weights for a race of this nature. |

6f/7f wins on the AW before finishing third of four upped to 1m at Dundalk where he was close up behind Big Gossey off level weights; should be well handicapped off this lower turf mark but soft ground could be troublesome. |

Improved last year to win three 6f handicaps and he didn't really get the breaks back over 5f the last time; does have a bit to prove off his current mark, even with a 7lb claimer up top ( different 7lb claimer rode last time). |

Some narrow defeats this term before convincing Navan win over this trip in August; raced on wrong side when sent off favourite there next time; below best at the Curragh (5f) latest but step back up in trip should be a help; goes on any ground. |

Speedy sort, winning at Tipperary in August before third to an improver at Navan; stiff task from out of the handicap and when racing on the wrong side at the Curragh when last seen; unproven over this trip; 3lb wrong. |

Reappeared from near two-year absence to win at Navan and then over C&D on his handicap debut over the summer; disappointing twice since at the Curragh; better ground should suit as will a return to this track. |
