Form & Verdict
Cotai Glory colt sent off at 25-1 for his debut over C&D a week ago but belied those odds with a fine run, beaten just 2l into fourth of 15 despite racing a bit keenly; obvious claims with that experience under his belt.

Placed twice in maidens at Roscommon last year and again twice over this trip on the AW early this year; overdid the forcing tactics when disappointing in Ballinrobe claimer on latest, claimed afterwards for 5,000euros; definite chance on his best form.

Rated 69; placed twice in turf maidens at Roscommon last year; in okay form on AW when last seen earlier this year; gelded since and new headgear combination goes on; not straightforward but best treated by race conditions and the one to beat if ready after break.

Maiden was given a tough enough mark on his initial 2yo runs and struggled in a handicap here in January before better effort back in maiden company when staying on third over C&D in first-time tongue-tie; not too much to find with runner-up Arrietty on these revised terms and cheekpieces added.

Narrowly denied on second start in a 7.5f Roscommon maiden (good) in August; no show in Goffs million over this C&D (soft) but off the mark on handicap debut at Dundalk (7f) in October; will strip fitter for comeback run back there in March when beaten 1.5l off revised mark; tongue-tie on.

Went close in Roscommon maiden last summer and off the mark final start on AW/handicap debut over C&D in October, coming home well when holding two stablemates in tight finish; 5lb higher now but type to keep progressing (will want 1m in time) and likely big player (yard had a winner here last week).
