J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Won at Kilbeggan in May (20.5f, good) off 117 and far from disgraced off 122 in the Blazers at Galway (22.5f, good); below best in listed handicap chase at Killarney (2m5f) latest; could rebound returned to a right-handed track, though this trip might be sharp enough.

J: Conor Stone-Walsh

T: Henry De Bromhead

Two-time winning hurdler; improved on two beginners' chase starts to win on handicap bow over fences at Kilbeggan in June off 117 (2m4f, good); solid runs in defeat the last twice following her victory, including a 4.75l sixth in a valuable Galway handicap chase last time (2m6f, good); in good form at the moment.

Progressed really well in the early part of last season, rising 30lb in the ratings, stemming from three wins and two seconds; probably too high in the ratings now; unsuited by race conditions at Killarney when tailed off last time; others more likely.

Locally-owned mare took a long time to come to hand but thrived under both codes last year, recording four wins including this race and a handicap hurdle here in October; promising run at Navan lately and headgear worn for latest Flat win is back on; crack apprentice on board too, so loads to like.
