5 yo Gelding

OR: 45

Form & Verdict
0-16 in Ireland but he has threatened, including on AW, and only an unexposed 3yo was too strong for him at Dundalk three weeks ago (5f; heavily backed); this is less competitive than he is used to and unlikely to be found a better opportunity.

9st 1lb

J: Terry Casey

T: Daniel James Murphy

Transferred his excellent AW form (4211) to turf when second over C&D six week ago; chance in this company is underlined by his victory over Jordan Breeze at Dundalk in April; shares a consistent recent profile with that rival and Alnofoor.

Consistent and likes it here; 7lb better off with Secret Handsheikh than when second to him over C&D this month but has spent most of his career running in lesser company and is currently weighted to his best; faded late over 6f here on Sunday.

Three wins this year, the latest by a nose over C&D (good to firm) in May; still in good form, albeit he was behind Faustus when third over C&D (good to firm; winner did it easily) last month; probably won't be far away.

Resumed winning ways in 5f classified event here in January and not discredited after a tardy start when a running-on third of six in 5f Lingfield handicap two weeks ago; she's proven over this longer trip so rates a big player back in this company.

Form & Verdict
Recorded an RPR of 79 when third of eight at Southwell on his handicap debut last March; regressed last summer and although he has run some respectable races this winter, last time wasn't one of them (bad draw); this is his first run at 0-55 level and blinkers are now given a go so a revival isn't out of the question.
