Form & Verdict
Made it third time lucky at Down Royal (7f, good) in July, beating a now 83 rated rival by a head (conceding 5lb); excellent effort in the Ballyhane on latest; obvious form claims and preferred by Browne-McMonagle; soft ground would be a query.

Nicely treated by race conditions and has run good races in second in his last two starts; beaten just a neck in a premier handicap at the Curragh in June (1m1f, good); failed to justify 11-10 favouritism at Navan last time when going down by a head; leading chance again.

Won Bellewstown maiden last year and decent second in Roscommon winners' contest, best efforts; encouraging comeback run in Madrid Handicap at Naas in late March, staying on late into fourth over inadequate 7f; step up in trip seems sure to suit and top-weight should go well.

Beat Punica Granatum in a Gowran maiden last year and ran well in a soft-ground winners' race over C&D on next start; seemingly too high in the handicap this term, but never-nearer third at speed-favouring Gowran was a much better effort and showed he's now on a competitive mark; headgear returns.

Debut 6f maiden win at Sligo last August sole success from seven starts, although recent Navan third (1m2f) under a positive ride was more encouraging; visor now replaces cheekpieces and drops in trip; could go well if handling softer ground.

Disappointed when 7-2 on debut at the Curragh (6f, good) but took a big step forward when a 1.5l third of 6 in a 7.5f listed heat at Tipperary on his second start; obvious chance on that form, though not certain to handle soft ground on breeding.

Best run was when third to a pair of solid stakes-level performers in a Listed contest last year; placed in 1m maidens this year, looked awkward under pressure when odds-on at Leopardstown; not one of his better efforts last time; 6f might be inadequate, but still of some interest, with cheekpieces and a 7lb claimer.

Likeable 3yo; won AW maiden last year; good fourth in hot Naas handicap over 1m before making most to beat in-form rival over 1m1f on probably unsuitably soft ground here; had that rival a little further back when fourth in 1m1f premier handicap at the Curragh, where missing a beat at the start proved costly in a race where the leaders didn't come back; takes on older horses for the first time.
