Last year's win in this race came off mark of 94; light campaign this term when tried over longer trips, not discredited in Group 3 at Leopardstown last time; return to this trip a positive but others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Last win came in a valuable 1m handicap here last summer but back to form off reduced mark when second over 1m1f at Leopardstown in first-time cheekpieces; good run since in Irish Cambridgeshire here when under 2l off Jagged Edge, having raced keenly; will need to settle better to see this out (cheekpieces left off).

Won this in 2024 off 4lb higher, his last win; well beaten in repeat bid last season but then chased home Slieve Binnian in hot handicap at Leopardstown; not a bad run on seasonal return at Naas and soft wouldn't have suited on latest; could go well back on faster ground if the new blinkers provide a spark.

Best run last year when second in valuable C&D handicap (good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces off 90; form regressed afterwards but encouraging seasonal return (well-backed) at Naas last month over 1m; down in grade here off a fair mark so one to consider.

Best runs last year came in a valuable Leopardstown handicap (1m1f, good to firm) when second in first-time cheekpieces, and when a close sixth at the Curragh next time in the same headgear; form regressed when headgear left off in two runs afterwards and it doesn't appear here.

Form & Verdict
Both wins last year came on soft, notably late-season premier handicap here over 1m; last week's Galway third (in first-time cheekpieces, now left off) was his best of the season but this trip is unknown territory and 2lb wrong.

Mudlark has been in and out this season; his last run at Tipperary was definitely an out when getting his ground but finishing 18l behind the winner; his run prior at Listowel was decent when a close fifth (8.5f, heavy); serious stamina concerns at this trip.

Acts on soft ground; Irish 4yo who landed a major handicap at the Curragh during his time with Dermot Weld; won well at Naas (good) on stable/seasonal debut, taking form figures over 1m to 3111 and strike-rate to 3-6; interesting challenger with further improvement very plausible.
