8th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Unplaced in six starts but his best efforts have come at 5f; too keen over 6f last time and now tried with first-time hood and tongue-tie; not ruled out back at his preferred trip if the new headgear does the trick. |

10st 3lb |
Lightly raced maiden caught the eye on recent handicap debut at Tipperary, staying on from well off the pace to finish fourth behind Skillman Ave under considerate enough handling; longer trip and stiffer finish should suit and no surprise if he pushed that rival close here. |

Lightly raced and unexposed 3yo entering handicap company; okay runs on both maiden albeit they don't justify current mark; may yet improve and this looks a weak race, even for the grade. |

Won four times in Britain for Ed Bethell; poor form in three turf runs in Ireland this season; failed to land a blow at Newcastle three days ago; the jury is out at present. |

9st 8lb |
One of his four wins for earlier trainers came over C&D; poor form in three turf runs in Ireland this season but he ran off 68 on the first of them and gets in here off just 54; interesting to see if there is any market support with headgear returning. |

Won over 5f at Tipperary and second over 6f at Fairyhouse last summer when with Gavin Cromwell; very little so far for this yard and mark in freefall; few quid for him at Navan last weekend where he didn't shape too badly. |

9st 5lb |
Best run by far a 3.25l third on debut at Naas in May 2024 (6f, good); nowhere near that level since, though was showing signs of being in season on handicap debut and seasonal return latest; hood added to tongue tie; watch. |

1-13 with the win coming at Cork in September (6f, yielding) off 60; some positive placed efforts this term at Navan (6f, heavy), Listowel (7f, good) and most recently at Fairyhouse (6f, good); latest run can be marked up because slowly away and was waiting for a gap in the straight; in the mix. |

Transferred his excellent AW form (4211) to turf when second over C&D six week ago; chance in this company is underlined by his victory over Jordan Breeze at Dundalk in April; shares a consistent recent profile with that rival and Alnofoor. |

Both turf wins have been at Tipperary though ran well over C&D last summer; showed more than he has been of late back at Tipperary latest although has a bit to find with a couple of these on that form. |
