Gave Betsen 1lb and a 2.75l beating in a 5f Curragh (soft) handicap on his return, his third career win; hiked up 11lb for that win and now steps up into stakes company for the first time; soft ground fine; place claims. |

Lightly raced 5yo who loves the mud; impressed when winning C&D handicap (yielding to soft) off 83 after a break in November, travelling smoothly; headed near the post when runner-up at Doncaster over 6f six days later; another who can't be dismissed; fourth in this race last year. |

His 1-23 record on turf is a concern; several good runs last year, including over 5f at this track; slowly away when strong in the betting over 1m at Bellewstown early last month; down the field over 6f here a week later. |

Last win came at Bellewstown (5f, good) last July off 74; tough sort was a beaten favourite when seventh over C&D on his return; hasn't looked like a winner in waiting in two starts since but is well treated now. |

C&D winner off 74 last July on good; 6lb lower now; course form figures of 32103; tough sort was a beaten favourite at the Curragh on return and was again strong in the betting when poor at Naas a week later; should improve on quicker ground. |

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. |

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. |
