Form & Verdict
Big prices all three maidens but sent off 11-2 on handicap debut at Cork (1m4f, gd-yld) and duly delivered a 0.5l win off 63 (Servare a 3.75l fifth); the third from that race has since hosed up in a maiden; raised 5lb but from a talented family and could be more to come.

Much improved when upped to 1m4f, rattling off a hat-trick of wins, at Cork, here and the Curragh; didn't do himself justice at Galway when keen but remains of interest.

Has reeled off a hat-trick of 1m4f handicap wins at Cork, Leopardstown and the Curragh; further progress is feasible; however, an aggregate 19lb rise may bring the sequence to an end; not guaranteed to confirm Cork form with Nod Of Approval.

3yo gelding is 2-2 in handicaps against his own age group; won over 1m4f at Cork (good) and followed up off 5lb higher at Leopardstown (1m4f, good); raised another 6lb and takes on older rivals now but could be more to come in first-time cheekpieces; leading claims.

Form & Verdict
Has progressed since tackling handicaps; 0.5l win off 58 at Dundalk in March (1m) followed by a 2.25l win at the same venue in April off 65; up another 9lb now and this is a deeper race; has to prove she is effective on turf and at this longer trip (mixed messages in pedigree).

Form & Verdict
Best of three maiden efforts came here over 1m last October (yielding); bred to be better than an opening mark of 78 and his dam won over 1m4f, so good chance he'll stay this far on handicap debut; yard amongst winners.

Seven-race maiden who is 2lb out of the handicap but he showed promise for Donnacha O'Brien and ran a big race on stable debut at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) four weeks ago, travelling well and keeping on nicely for 1l third behind Glory Road; this longer trip could suit and he's an interesting contender.

0-6 for Donnacha O'Brien in Ireland but staying-on third of ten in a maiden at Leopardstown (1m5f, good to firm) last time was his best form; flopped in 1m2f handicap the time before and also modest in his only AW race, but a positive start for his new connections is by no means ruled out.

Opening course handicap effort (1m4f, good) offered plenty of encouragement, coming home strongly after not clear run to finish fourth; sent off favourite at Down Royal but never a factor (10.5f); considered back in a maiden over a more suitable trip.

Off the mark on seasonal return at Navan in March (1m2f, heavy); upset in stalls when beaten 3.75l by Darius Dark off 12lb higher mark at Cork (gd-yld); can give a good account if the cheekpieces have a positive effect.

Looked decent when taking the runner-up spot in back-to-back races on softer ground at Navan (1m2f, heavy) and the Curragh (1m, soft); too keen when disappointed on good ground at Leopardstown and 1m4f trip likely stretched her too; forecast rain in her favour and she's worth another go.
