Well beaten in three maidens but much improved in first-time blinkers on handicap debut at Galway in October, making up good ground inside final furlong to win going away (7f, heavy); hammered with 13lb rise for that but seems likely to improve further at 1m and has to be respected on AW debut. |

9st 9lb |
Won three times in Ireland for Mick Mulvany, including at Listowel (1m, heavy) last September; low key in five starts for new trainer, slipping 9lb in the weights - now 1lb below that last winning mark; needs revival on AW return (3-9). |

Ex-Irish gelding who has only had four runs for Ian Williams and won the last two, 1m handicaps on good ground at Newbury and Yarmouth; had no penalty last time and now 6lb higher, but he's on a roll; has won on soft. |

9st 5lb |
79-rated gelding won twice in June at Cork and Leopardstown, both over 1m on nice ground; midfield on soft to heavy at the Curragh latest (1m) and has hinted that this sort of trip might suit, though he's not bred for it. |
9/2 |

4th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Has enjoyed a fine campaign; back to back wins in June saw him go up 13lb but he has continued to acquit himself well; another sound run in a Killarney rated race latest (1m, good); probably doesn't want it too soft. |
15/2 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |

Both wins on goodish ground but versatile as regards conditions as it was yielding to soft when second in a 1m handicap at Galway where three of today's rivals were behind; came from well off the pace that day so it was some effort. |

Sole win (from 18 attempts) came back in August 2024 and he was down the field on this month's reappearance at Ayr; however, he may have needed that run and he's on a competitive mark on the pick of last season's form (including here); each-way chance if he's back on song. |

0-14 starts but some promise shown in defeat; hit the frame three times here this year over 7f ; he was just 1.25l behind Eric Lock at Down Royal in May (7f) and again ran positively at Limerick next time when third (1m); below par at Bellewstown last time; he's on a lower mark now compared to his good runs here earlier in the year. |

He's on a handy mark on his form last June/July, when winning over C&D, and a market check is advised on his reappearance; however, he went off the boil last autumn and returns minus cheekpieces (worn when winning). |

C&D win in first-time cheekpieces off 5lb lower in June has been boosted by those behind since; latest effort, over further on heavy ground, is probably best ignored and he's one to consider for a yard among the winners over jumps of late. |
