Form & Verdict
Nicely treated by race conditions and has run good races in second in his last two starts; beaten just a neck in a premier handicap at the Curragh in June (1m1f, good); failed to justify 11-10 favouritism at Navan last time when going down by a head; leading chance again.

Dual 2yo winner went closest to adding to that score when narrowly denied last month in 16-runner Curragh premier handicap, staying on strongly for pressure behind a strong favourite over 1m1f (good); longer trip here should suit and big player.

Won a 7f AW maiden on debut in September 2024; well-held in four runs last year in good-class company; poor on her return at Dundalk but better in a C&D conditions race last time when chasing home an odds-on favourite; one of the lesser likely candidates all the same.

Listed winner at two when based in Britain and ran okay on occasions when highly tried as a 3yo; below best on yard debut (trip too far) at Gowran but bounced back at same venue earlier this month when making all over a mile; drop back in trip no problem, should go well.

Smart on Flat for Aidan O'Brien last year (won Lingfield Derby Trial) and got act together over hurdles at third attempt, keeping on well to win Kilbeggan maiden (2m, good) last month; that form was recently given a good boost by the third and this fellow is open to more improvement over jumps.

Eight-race maiden has finished second in five of his races, including his last four; good effort in a four-runner C&D race on just his second turf run last time when 1.5l behind Trustyourinstinct, who has since won a Group 2; would receive 8lb from Summer Is Tomorrow in a handicap, so has work to do but he's consistent.

Maiden; five of his six starts have been over C&D and finished runner-up in three of those; a 0.5l runner-up in November off 4lb lower and winner followed up next time in a rated race; squeezed for room in a maiden last time but recovered to again take second; he's knocking on the door.
