Odds of $51.00 and finished 8th last start at Curragh but competing in a lower grade. Does take a while to get into stride. Difficult to warm to at present.

Resuming after a spell. Odds of $301.00 and mediocre display when 11th last run at Leopardstown but matched against less formidable competition. Very unlikely.

Back from a spell. Jumped at $15.00 and finished 5th last start at Naas but was a debutant last start. Facing weaker opposition. Back to a shorter distance. Very unlikely to shake these.

First up after a break of 40 weeks. At $5.50 ran 5th last run at Leopardstown but having second career run. Should be going forward early. Appears tested.

Resumes after a break. Odds of $41.00 and ran 6th last time at Curragh but was on debut last time. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Significant improvement required.

Tidy effort when 3rd last time at Curragh and having second career run. Expecting to settle positively. Competing at a lower class. Capable of winning this.
