Comment: Better record on AW (3-13) than on turf (1-13); last month's fourth placings in handicap at Ballinrobe and Fairyhouse provide some encouragement.

Comment: Gained a first win since 2022 when landing a 1m4f Dundalk handicap in March; maintained a consistent vein of form when close-up in fifth in a 1m6f handicap at Gowran three weeks ago; 10lb claimer has plenty of experience, yet to taste success.

Comment: 1-8 on turf; won off 85 at Haydock (1m2f, good) for William Haggas last August; no sign of his best form in five Irish outings, the most recent in a 1m1f handicap Leopardstown last week; dropped in grade now; not without a chance; star pony racing graduate Dylan O'Connor claims 10lb.

Comment: AW winner early last year; later showed fair form in handicap hurdles; 0-13 Flat turf record is off-putting. however, he is well enough treated by the race conditions and had this jockey aboard for his Dundalk win.
