Seven-time winner; has 7lb extra having justified favouritism with a comfortable success last Friday; strongly supported then, trainer attributed his improvement to drop in grade; similar standard now, so his chance should be taken seriously.
Contributed to stable's good current form when scoring over C&D 12 days ago; good chance off new mark with 7lb again claimed by an apprentice who is making progress and gaining confidence.
On a long losing sequence since a Flat success last year, only two days after a Sligo maiden hurdle win; has been struggling over hurdles recently. cheekpieces tried, hard to be confident but has a top rider aboard.
Has a solid overall record at this venue, one wins, four seconds and a third from nine visits; showed signs of a return to her best when fifth of ten here last time; has a bit to find with Glyde Ranger on that running.
Stepped up to this trip to good effect when an 80-1 runner-up in a C&D handicap last month; below that form on his two more recent visits; appears safely held by Glyde Ranger.
Progressive filly this year, returning in July to win at Killarney before solid fourth over 1m6f at Navan; won over C&D in September (9lb higher now); met trouble in running in a 1m6f handicap at Navan five weeks ago.
Ended long losing sequence with 4l C&D win at rthe end of last month; backed that up with good second off revised mark 19 days ago (Rockview Consort and Warrior Lion behind); one of the leading candidates.
Course 1m maiden winner last winter; started turf campaign brightly at the Curragh in April; well below best next three starts; some encouragement from third of seven over 1m last time; tackles a new trip now, not guaranteed to stay.
13-race maiden; quite consistent lately; not beaten far over the extended 1m2f on her two most recent visits to this track; but need to find extra to open her account.
Lightly raced maiden; remote sixth of 15 at Gowran on third qualifying start; up in trip now with cheekpieces added; improvement is feasible, but plenty needed.
