Form & Verdict

Flat winner who was third at Cork over hurdles (18.5f, good to yielding) in August from a mark of 103; 5lb lower now sporting first-time cheekpieces but this trip looks too sharp for this hold-up performer.

Form & Verdict

Struggled here on first handicap but showed dramatic improvement when third in Tipperary contest last month; runner-up and stablemate Duffys Hodey franked the form with wide-margin Clonmel win; good second at Cork since, no match for the winner; entitled to be bang there.

Form & Verdict

Runner-up twice in the spring and was a solid fourth off this mark at Wexford on his penultimate start; better than the bare result when eighth of 15 at Clonmel latest; one of the more likely candidates; first-time cheekpieces might help.
