Winner off a mark of 81 on the AW at Dundalk over 7f in September last year. Ran well until weakening late on over 1m here on good ground a week ago and likely to run well dropped in trip here.

Made the frame on each of his three starts this turf season. beaten ½L over 6f at Naas (good) earlier this week but has placed over 7f and 1m in the past. One for the shortlist in this contest.

Not beaten far in two outings this year. Most recent of those came at Cork over 6f (yielding) just under two weeks ago though best form since joining this yard from Germany has come with cut in the ground.

Successful on his penultimate outing over 6f at Dundalk last month. Beaten 7L off this 3lb higher mark at Naas on yielding ground over the same trip earlier this month. Step up to 7f (won over this trip in the past) looks likely to suit.

Inconsistent but put in one of his better efforts when beaten 4L into fourth in an 18 runner handicap at Leopardstown (soft) over 7f earlier this month. Races off the same mark here but couldn't be certain he'd repeat that today.

Caught the eye when finishing fourth of 15 in a first time tongue tie at Cork over 6f on yielding ground on his second turf start of the season. Rated just 2lb higher than when winning at Listowel last September and interesting in this race.

Beaten 1L on his second outing of the season when finishing fifth over 6f at Navan (good) earlier this week. Yet to win in 13 turf starts however and others make more appeal for win purposes in this.

Made a satisfactory return to turf racing when beaten 1L into fourth in a 20 runner Leopardstown handicap over 1m on soft ground earlier this month. Races off the same mark here as he seeks a first career success.

Failed to score in eight runs for previous yard including when beaten 2½L into fifth over 5f at Dundalk earlier this month. Probably best watched on debut for this stable.

Beaten ½L on her debut for this yard when finishing fourth in a 21 runner contest over 6f at Navan (good) last weekend. Wore a first time tongue tie on that occasion and interesting again in this contest.

Forecasts

Club Wexford (9/4), Military Hill (6/1), January Morn (7/1), Fit For Function (8/1), Severus (8/1), Roachdale House (8/1), Lily's Prince (10/1), Fair Game (10/1), Guanabara Bay (12/1), Cardigan Street (16/1), Strait Of Zanzibar (16/1)

Verdict

CLUB WEXFORD has been running well recently and finished close-up over 6f at Navan earlier this week. The selection is likely to race just behind the leaders and should appreciate this return to 7f having placed over this trip earlier this month. Lily's Prince is another stepping back up to 7f having won over 6f on his penultimate outing at Dundalk last month while Fair Game is a filly who ran well over 6f at Cork last two weeks ago and can claim third in what looks a competitive contest.
  1. Club Wexford
  2. Lily's Prince
