Resuming. Was competitive when 2nd last time at Dundalk and fitter for debut run. Might have to make up considerable ground. Drawn nicely. Great chance.

Fresh after a spell. In the money when 2nd last time in a hurdle at Leopardstown and matched against lesser competition. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Good chance of taking this out.

Backing up quickly. At $101.00 clearly outclassed when 13th last run at Dundalk. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Looking elsewhere today.

First up today. At $41.00 disappointing effort when 6th last time at Leopardstown but challenged by weaker competitors. Won't be far away during the run. Dropping in distance. Needs to improve.

Jumped at $34.00 and mediocre attempt when 5th last time at Dundalk but fitter for debut run. Has early speed and positions nicely. Competing in a less challenging grade. Hard to warm to.

Fresh today after a break. Started at $67.00 and below standard effort when 11th last run at Dundalk. Hasn't fired a shot in 8 starts. Seems very unlikely.
