Below-par run latest but C&D winner just under a year ago and runner-up three times this year, twice over C&D; slow starts mean he needs them to go quick in front to have a chance.

C&D winner has shaped as though turn was near the last twice; beaten a head by Movin And Groovin over C&D on penultimate off 2lb lower and beaten 1.25l when second of 18 at Naas (1m, good) on latest; should be thereabouts again.

A 1-22 turf record is worrying; however, he holds a good chance if reproducing the form of recent Dundalk second, which gives him an edge over Akashaa (sixth).

Won 7f handicap here last September (soft); failed to sustain progress afterwards but definite promise on last month's seasonal return at Gowran when never nearer fifth of 16 on similar ground; poor on only previous attempt at this trip but better ground could enable her to see it out.

Won at Gowran last August following several placed efforts during the summer; shaped as if she was returning to form over C&D in July, staying on well after being denied a clear run; disappointing when well backed to repeat last year's Gowran win; may bounce back.

Dual turf winner and more effective on Dundalk AW with four wins at 7f; halted a poor run of turf efforts with good second at Gowran last month (7f, good) under positive tactics off reduced mark; has won over 1m so has to be respected off this mark.

36-race maiden has been placed six times over sprint trips this season and seemed to get the longer trip okay on latest when third at Roscommon (7.5f); one to consider although not sure about this wide draw.
