One of three for yard; off the mark over fences in a Downpatrick beginners (19.5f, gd-yld) in May (Giant Haystacks 2.75l behind in fourth); unseated two out in handicap chase back there on latest when still in contention; can't discount off 2lb higher. |

Maiden is 0-5 over fences but shaped like his turn was near when narrowly denied at Kilbeggan (20.5f, good) last time; this longer trip fine and should be in the mix again off 2lb higher. |

Decent handicap form for new yard; second on stable debut at Sligo in May (2m6f, good), fading late; fourth at Downpatrick (2m6f, good to yielding) later that month; okay fourth at Sligo last time (2m5f, good); drops in trip now but more needed to get home in front. |

Betting Forcast
15/2 Driveonwill, 6/1 Gorthill, 12/1 Kalsman, 7/1 Run For The Border, 7/1 Full Noise, 14/1 Wing Back, 11/1 My Cullen, 10/1 Our Zebo, 25/1 My Policy, 25/1 Not So Serious, 14/1 Kings Son, 7/1 The Cobblers Wife, 17/2 Deadheat, 15/1 Nobody, 25/1 Baltinglass Hill, Annarubyrose
Verdict
A C&D winner in May, DRIVEONWILL was still in contention when unseating back here next time and may be able to bounce back from a poor Galway festival effort. Our Zebo has a massive 26lb lower mark in this sphere and is a big danger if market support arrives. Full Noise is entitled to improve after a good third back from a mammoth absence. The Cobblers Wife goes chasing following a victory on stable bow last time. [Denis Harney]
