9st 10lb

J: Ben Coen

T: J P Murtagh

Rewarded for a string of consistent efforts with a win at Limerick on latest (7f, soft) off 5lb lower; closely matched with Invincible Will on Curragh running in May; looks progressive and should go well again but majority of form on easier ground than this.

Ten-race maiden was denied by 0.5l by Zenford at Limerick last time out (7f, soft) and just 2lb higher now; went close on good ground at Fairyhouse in May; in the mix again but needs to find a bit more to get his head in front.

Maiden has run several fine races in defeat for Johnny Murtagh and this yard; raced a bit keenly over 7f here last time when just denied and should cope with the drop in trip; considered.

Has come into a decent level of form on his last two starts; his recent second at Navan franked by the winner at Leopardstown subsequently; should not be far away.

Won a 7f Dundalk nursery last winter and some solid efforts in defeat this term, notably good fourth at the Curragh; 7f on soft ground probably too much of a stamina test on latest, back in trip here.

J: Colin Keane

T: G M Lyons

AW promise last year and off the mark on second turf run this year, sent on some way out under a positive ride over this trip at Leopardstown 13 days ago, relishing the quicker ground; 8lb rise looks plenty but quite likely has more to offer under these conditions.

Best two efforts in four maiden runs came over 7f at Dundalk last winter; not a bad run on handicap bow and seasonal return at Limerick (7f, soft) behind Zenford and Venetian Star; same mark here and Keane takes over now; ran well on good ground at the Curragh last term; interesting.

Improved for switch to handicaps and good ground when second at Roscommon (7.5f) and went one better over 7f here next time; claimer negated his rise for the win at Limerick last time, but soft ground a possible excuse for his poor showing; chance back at this track on this ground.
