J: Jack Cleary

T: M C Grassick

Largely consistent veteran whose seven wins range in trips from 7f to 1m4f, most recently at lower limit at the Curragh last autumn; recent Leopardstown fourth (Green Kite second) was a seasonal-best but this ground possibly on the quick side.

Standout effort a 3l third in a 9.5f (heavy) maiden at Gowran last October; weakened over 1m5f on seasonal return at Ballinrobe; has had issues in the starting stalls before; cheekpieces added to tongue tie; needs more.

Promise on first two runs of the season for John O'Donoghue on yielding and soft to heavy; another decent effort when a 4.25l fourth on debut for this yard at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yld); good ground is a query, should go well if acts on it.
