Eight-time winner on turf including once over C&D; sole success last season in Tipperary rated race (5f, good) when he had Eclairage 1.25l behind in third and weighted to uphold that form; runner up in this last year on seasonal return off 3lb higher; can't discount.

He's on a competitive mark on last season's best form for David Marnane but he was well beaten on his stable debut at York last October and it was the same outcome there this month on his return; he has plenty to prove.

Ran well in defeat in two 5f Listed races here when trained by David Marnane but well beaten on stable debut over this C&D (good) last October, and a career-best is needed in first-time cheekpieces on his reappearance.

J: David Allan

T: Geoffrey Harker

Previously trained in Ireland, running as well as he's ever done when a close second of seven over 5f at Navan five weeks ago; his best form (and sole win) have come over the minimum trip but he should prove effective over an easy 6f; makes his debut for a new stable in a hot race.

OR: 87

Form & Verdict
Ordinary form in turf maidens; hugely improved when switched to 5f nurseries at Dundalk, winning twice before confirming rate of progress with an odds-on win in a conditions event over the same course and trip; went off too fast when raised in class on seasonal debut in a 5f Listed race at Cork; held by Sir Yoshi on that running.

Speedster has an impressive strike rate of 4-6 on the AW; last seen in October running a fine race when a 2l fourth of 14 in Dundalk Group 3 (5f); 0-7 on turf and rated 8lb lower and rider claims 7lb; best turf runs have come on flat tracks so might be best watched on seasonal return over this stiff 5f.

First reserve; speedy sort represents yard that has won the last two renewals; boasts C&D form figures of 11115 and she may have needed the run for that fifth on latest when behind a couple of these; a bit to find on the figures but could make a bold bid if getting a run.
