11st 12lb

J: Ricky Doyle

T: Denis Gerard Hogan

Second runner for yard; three-time AW winner ran well enough on that surface on second start for this yard; was well below his best on sole turf run, but has the class to run well if jumping soundly.

J: Colin Keane

T: Denis Gerard Hogan

Three wins from seven starts at this track when in Adrian Murray's care; struggled in good company over C&D last time on yard debut; sights lowered significantly now, as is the case with stablemate Tyson Fury, who should have his measure again.

Form & Verdict
Showed some ability in bumpers before getting up on the line to win a very ordinary 1m4f maiden here last month; will likely appreciate stepping up in trip but a mark of 80 would not appear overly generous.

Dual-purpose AW winner; out of form at Dundalk earlier this year and disappointing return to turf at the Curragh eight days ago; eased 1lb and down in trip, but others arrive in better fettle.

Has only had one Flat run on turf; fair performer at up to 2m on AW at Dundalk, maiden winner (1m4f) and placed twice, including when third off this mark in October (1m4f); should be suited by ground conditions.

Sole win came in C&D fillies' maiden in November 2024; not far away in October from 1lb higher; lesser efforts since; wide draw to overcome in first-time cheekpieces.

Remarkable record having won a bumper, over hurdles and fences and on the Flat (including twice over C&D); fair effort although had no chance with Jabbar here last time; unlikely to turn the tables.

Not heavily raced for his age with eight wins between all disciplines; was runner-up in a C&D claimer when last seen over hurdles and had one solid AW Flat run since; can go well fresh and is one to consider.

Veteran won this race for Noel Meade five years ago off 81 and last win came on Dundalk AW in February 2022; fair AW form last winter for the late Kevin Prendergast, reappearing for current yard when placed in 2m5f Sligo handicap hurdle last month; retains enthusiasm so can't be ruled out; first-time tongue-tie.

Seven wins under all codes and returned from a short break in fine fettle to beat Jerandme by six-and-a-half lengths; 5lb rise for that gives him a fair chance of following up with an excellent 5lb claimer on board.

Four turf wins and last won on the AW over 2m in January 2025; beaten a neck off 89 at the Curragh (1m6f, good) last summer, more recently testing ground probably didn't suit at Navan in late March; trip/ground more in his favour here.

Dual-purpose; 4-17 on turf on the Flat; last won on the AW over 2m in January 2025; beaten a neck off 89 at the Curragh (1m6f, good) in June; has had a recent spin over hurdles so racefit but might need a bit more help from the handicapper; blinkers on.
