Form & Verdict
Only had six races and was sent off favourite for the latest at Haydock (1m, good to soft) where he pulled too hard in a reapplied hood (now removed); didn't run too badly all things considered and there's a race in him off this mark.

Irish challenger who goes from the front and has been in excellent form back home, last time a game winner at Gowran Park (1m, good; fine on faster); expect a positive ride back over 7f.

Never saw another rival when making all at Cork (1m, good) to win by 3l; raised 10lb for that but almost repeated the dose at York two weeks ago when headed late on into second (1m, good to firm); raised another 4lb now, but he's thriving and is firmly in the mix.

Pulled too hard under restraint when a beaten favourite at Haydock (1m, good to soft) in May and a return to front running worked a treat at Cork (1m, good) since, making all by over 3l; the handicapper hasn't missed him but this course often suits similar tactics and David Marnane had a winner here last month.
