Got off the mark when winning a Bellewstown claimer over this trip on soft but was poor over 1m2f at Leopardstown since; coming back in trip will help; tough draw. |

Just 2-22 but has taken the runner-up spot nine times; won on heavy at Leopardstown in October off 5lb lower; decent enough return at Cork (7f, soft) when a 6l sixth; Vega's Muse appears to be stable number one. |

Is 0-7; has run okay on his last two starts in a maiden at Laytown (7f) and in a maiden claimer at Bellewstown (1m, yielding to soft), weak; well-beaten in sole completed handicap off 71 in August; 6lb lower now but still doesn't look that well-treated and not sure he stays this far; others preferred. |

Won off 6lb higher in first-time cheekpieces at the Curragh last March (1m, soft); no joy since and beaten around 9l in both starts at that venue this season; blinkers back on instead of cheekpieces; not discounted. |

Sole victory came in this race last year (soft) on his seasonal return and he is 2lb lower now; was well backed on that occasion so he's well worth monitoring in the market. |

9st 10lb |
Gained his first win on turf when landing a handicap at Bath (1m, good) this month and followed up there over 1m2f (firm; made all) six days ago; holds good claims dropping back in trip under a 4lb penalty but any rain probably won't be ideal. |

Record is only 2-52 but he gained the latest success in comfortable fashion at Bath (1m, good) last week and warrants respect under 4lb penalty; recorded the other win over 1m2f (on AW). |

Landed a gamble in a 1m2f classified event at Chelmsford on his stable debut in February; in and out since and likely a few of these will have his measure. |
