Lost form for Kevin Ryan; restored to something like his best at this venue since joining this yard; seems best suited by 1m; takes a big drop in class having been tailed off in Sunday's Irish Lincoln.

J: Oisin Orr

Lost his way for Kevin Ryan but has bounced back round Dundalk this winter, often making the running; ran well on his only previous start on Tapeta (here) and will be dangerous if allowed to dictate back down from 1m.

Form & Verdict
Dual course winner over 7f but has won over 1m on turf and arrives in cracking form after a half-length defeat over C&D with some of these in behind before a 1l defeat to progressive rival over 7f a fortnight ago; only up 1lb for that and this small-field contest could be a good opportunity.

J: Jack Kearney

T: Stephen Thorne

Consistent here in recent months; recorded the eighth win of his career when favourite for a 7f handicap 16 days ago; has often run well over this trip here, without winning, however, he has won over 1m on turf; 94-rated gelding is well suited by the race conditions and the stable continues in good form.
