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.

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: 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 4yo didn't debut until June last year, winning Killarney auction maiden on second start; contested 1m6f Listed races both subsequent starts, staying on fourth at Leopardstown and never landed a blow when beaten 5.5l at Ascot in October; drops to handicap company for seasonal return and has to be respected.
