Consistent in four races for Paddy Twomey; has contested two strong Curragh handicaps for this yard, an eyecatching sixth over 1m2f (good) before running well in the Irish Cesarewitch in which he appeared to stay the 2m1f (heavy); wouldn't be exposed just yet and has a Group 3 entry next month.

Lightly-raced 5yo won ordinary 1m4f maiden on last summer's debut before good second in 1m6f contest at Galway festival; 6-5 fav, visor went on for Killarney return earlier this month, couldn't get by similarly-rated rival who dictated a steady pace over 1m6f.

Tim Toe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Last year he was a bumper winner (sole attempt) and ran twice over hurdles; now he's a useful prospect, at the least, under Flat rules having won a maiden at Bellewstown (11.4f, soft) and conditions event at Listowel (1m, good) and he kept on well behind Kizlyar over 1m6f in between, all from off the pace; this race is radically different but he is promising and seriously unexposed.

Bumper winner and fair maiden hurdler; won Bellewstown maiden over 1m3f; third in slowly-run 1m6f heat at Killarney and opening mark likely flatters him; surely beatable over this trip.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

Lightly raced 4yo; proved that he does indeed possess serious stamina when upped from 1m6f to 2m4f at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last time, bang there almost throughout in first-time blinkers and beaten a head; back up 4lb but has a big shout.

J: James Doyle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Unraced on firmer than good and his form claims are pretty flimsy; however, he's one of the dark horses of the race after just six starts and he's shaped at 1m6f as if he may well be an out-and-out stayer; has tried cheekpieces and a visor once each, and now blinkers are given a go; close relation Middle Earth was third over 2m in last year's Melbourne Cup.

Lightly-raced 5yo who is shaping into a useful dual-purpose performer, having finished runner-up in a 2m Grade 2 hurdle at Fairyhouse in April and last week scoring comfortably over 1m6f at Listowel; probably has plenty of further improvement in him, but this company demands it.
