Speedster has an impressive strike rate of 4-6 on the AW; last seen in October running a fine race when a 2l fourth of 14 in Dundalk Group 3 (5f); 0-7 on turf and rated 8lb lower and rider claims 7lb; best turf runs have come on flat tracks so might be best watched on seasonal return over this stiff 5f.

First reserve; speedy sort represents yard that has won the last two renewals; boasts C&D form figures of 11115 and she may have needed the run for that fifth on latest when behind a couple of these; a bit to find on the figures but could make a bold bid if getting a run.
