His last win came in this race in 2024 on testing ground; not that many runs since and was beaten 13l by stablemate Gaelic Des Chastys in this last year; a squeak if back to best. |

Three-time winner but nothing since March 2024 when he won a heavy ground handicap chase at Limerick off 94 (3m1f); wasn't shaping like a winner in waiting towards the end of last season; needs to find his form but perhaps the break has done him good. |

Verdict
Worthwhile form is in short supply here, but WITHOUT EXCEPTION appeals with the form of last month’s course third boosted by the fourth. Cahirdown Boy could make a bold bid after a mishap over fences at Cork. The Little Yank is heavily raced and not guaranteed to back up his victory over Coffeys Forge (second reserve) at Clonmel. Aleish Lass is respected as a course winner who has won when fresh in the past. [Alan Sweetman]
