Resumes from a spell. Was 14/1 and ran 9th last time at this track but facing a weaker group of contenders. Might be ridden for luck. Keep safe.

Resuming. Started 80/1 and disappointing run when 8th last start at Fairyhouse. May find these too slick.

Back from a 26 week spell. Tidy run when 3rd last time at Galway and was a debutant last start. Luke Mcateer and Jack Foley are a strong duo. Forward showing expected.

First run back from a 33 week break. At 200/1 average performance when 15th last start at Naas. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Can't have.

First up after 38 weeks and in the money when 3rd first up last preparation at Naas. Should muster plenty of early toe. Competing at a lower grade. Great chance.
