Fair 2yo for George Scott but generally struggled for his current trainer; brought over from Ireland twice early in the year (AW), when unplaced each time, and is some way down the pecking order back from a break. |

Three wins up to 7f and solid efforts in defeat this year; left with plenty to do when tried over C&D on penultimate, but seemed to stay; don't dismiss albeit draw could have been kinder. |

Losing run since July 2023 but has been giving the impression his turn may be near again in two starts for his new yard; yet to try further than 1m2f on the Flat but has shaped like it would suit at times and one to consider. |

Six wins to his name but on a losing run that stretches back to September 2022; not beaten far in two of four visits to Gowran in recent months; Limerick third offered renewed hope, confirmed by a C&D second that gives him a slight edge over William F Browne and Max Meridius. |
