Classy performer who finished runner-up in a Group 3 event at The Curragh on good ground in August. Subsequently successful in a 2m Listed contest on heavy ground at the same track the following month and likely to prove hard to beat on his return to action.
Fit from a spell hurdling and a winner over 1m6f on soft ground at Bellewstown in June last year. Finished well beaten behind Twilight Payment at The Curragh subsequently and has plenty to find with that rival here.
Successful over 1m4f on the AW at Dundalk in February. Well beaten off a mark of 83 at Naas over 1m last month and while returning to a more suitable trip here he has plenty to find on ratings.
Winner of a Group 2 event at Ascot in 2014 but only success since came in a 1m6f Group 3 contest at Navan in May 2015. Retains plenty of ability and receives weight from his main rival as he seeks a fifth career victory.
Winner of a couple of bumpers in the summer and ran a respectable race when finishing eighth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham last month. Makes his Flat debut in a hot race here.
Maiden after nine outings and well beaten when last of nine in a 2m maiden at Dundalk last month. Likely to struggle in this.
Successful in a valuable 1m2f handicap at The Curragh in September 2015 and narrowly beaten over the same trip here the following month. Disappointed last season but switched yards since and this step up in trip may well suit him.
Forecasts
Forgotten Rules (4/5), Twilight Payment (11/4), Torcedor (8/1), Mountain Rock (8/1), Benkei (16/1), Brokopondo (20/1), Nulife (100/1)
FORGOTTEN RULES and Twilight Payment filled the first two places in a Listed contest at The Curragh last year and it is the former who is taken to reverse that form on this heavy ground. The selection hasn't been seen since finishing runner-up in a Listed event over an extended 1m7f at Saint-Cloud in November but won first time out in 2015 and ran well on his seasonal debut last year also. Torcedor and Benkei look likely to fight it out for third place with Jessica Harrington's charge taken to get the better of her rival for that position.
