Form & Verdict
Modest strike rate for his ability but raised his game to a new level in Listed contests this year when fourth at both York and Cork over this trip; well below that form when dropped in grade on latest in Tipperary conditions event; handicap debut and needs to be at his best conceding weight all-round.

Has drawn a blank since soft-ground maiden success in Ireland as a 2yo; not far away on occasions this year, including third of six at Haydock (5f, soft) in first-time blinkers (retained) 26 days ago, but this a tough race in which to snap his losing sequence.

Won soft-ground maiden in Ireland as a 2yo; winless since but he hasn't been far away in some good 5f handicaps this year, including over this C&D (good to soft) in August; a subsequent defeat at Beverley may have come too soon and he should be competitive in this company; now blinkered.

Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her seasonal return in a median auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good) when just 0.5l behind the winner Tango Flare; rated just 92, however, so looks to be out of her depth in this grade (failed to trouble the judge in three previous runs in stakes company).

Most consistent sprinter, scoring over C&D earlier in season and battled on well to land Rockingham Handicap (5f) in June; subsequently third of 20 to Sondad in Scurry over further and good third to Bear On The Run over C&D latest; model of consistency but could be vulnerable off likely strong pace and 4lb out of handicap.

Has been in the form of his life this season; won over 6f here on seasonal return and bagged another victory in a C&D premier handicap in June despite being 3lb out of the weights; didn't quite see out the 6.5f trip of the Scurry handicap here last month, but it was still a blinding run to finish third; went too quick at Cork last time; definite chance.
