Balance of best form is over further, winning over 1m last summer and good placings more recently; drop in trip here could find him out and draw not ideal.
Two-time winner on turf for Karl Burke; two runs for this yard have been poor, latest when tried hooded here in October; drops in trip and tongue-tie tried.
Not a great strike-rate but back to form (off reduced mark) to score at Newcastle last month in low-grade affair; previous C&D winner should go well from a favourable draw.
Gained deserved breakthrough over C&D in October and better again when runner-up twice last month, showing plenty of speed each time (first occasion from wide draw); 3lb higher now so more needed.
22-race maiden for Chris Timmons but made an immediate impact on yard debut last month over this trip at Newcastle (comfortably); races off 4lb higher mark than last Irish run and can go well from a good draw.
Maiden has been tried over various trips, notably placed in sprint maidens at Bellewstown and last month ran well above her mark in 5f maiden here when making much of running in finishing third under today's rider; raised just 2lb for that and potentially well-treated back in handicap if seeing out this extra furlong.
Dual winner here in 2024; bit more encouraging on November comeback in claimer after which he was claimed for 5,000euros; given a 5lb rise for that but still nicely treated on old form on yard debut.
Maiden is 0-9 on the AW, placed as a 2yo over 5f; regressive in first half of last year but rating has dropped accordingly; lack of a recent run a concern but good draw.
Dual winner at this trip, including here in late 2024 off 51; couple of good runs here recently, denied a clear run on latest when 1l off Sovereign Banter; outside draw a negative.
Maiden has run well several times in defeat on turf for Jimmy Coogan; lacks a recent run but debuts for respected trainer here (rider/trainer had a winner here on Friday) off a workable mark; draw not ideal.
Dual C&D winner, including off this basement mark last April; trip inadequate on latest but hard to fancy here from 6lb out of handicap and from a wide draw.
