Winner over hurdles and over fences including at Tramore in a novice chase in October, made belated Flat debut over a mile at Limerick 12 days ago finishing last of 16, beaten 20L. Has a fair bit to find here.
Winner over 1m4f on the AW at Dundalk in March, since posted lacklustre effort over a mile on turf at Naas in competitive handicap and beaten 3½L back up in track on AW. No surprise should he prove good enough for this weak contest.
Yet to pose credible threat in four starts, two on turf at 1m and 1m3f, last seen at Dundalk in October, finds potentially his easiest task yet in this but will need to have wintered well.
Beaten out of sight in a mile maiden at the Curragh in March 2016, similar tale when reappearing over 1m4f at Dundalk on AW in November which gives him limited hopes coming into this contest.
An ex-Godolphin runner, he remains a maiden after 15 starts. Hit the frame in a Nottingham maiden over 1m½f back in July 2014 but has offered little since including in three starts last year for this yard over a variety of trips. Returns from 213 days off needing massive turnaround in fortune to score.
Has beaten only three rivals in four starts since joining her current stable from England and needs to find a spark from somewhere.
On a long losing streak (13 races), he has shown little since joining his current stable in four runs on Dundalk's AW over the mile. This however is a weak race.
Forecasts
Specific Gravity (4/6), Indian Tomahawk (11/2), Lost History (11/2), Illusive Force (10/1), Nabeel (25/1), Mack Miller (33/1), Beautiful Ben (33/1)
Such are the weaknesses of his rivals that SPECIFIC GRAVITY almost collects the vote by default here. He has winning form at Dundalk this year over 1m4f and scored on turf in his youth. His turf run at Naas in March is forgiven as it came in a valuable handicap and he'll meet nothing of that ilk here. He has every right to take the measure of this motley crew. Indian Tomahawk has struggled since joining this yard but his old form would give him some hope and he may be best of the rest ahead of Love History who encounters perhaps his easiest task to date after four starts and might have more to offer.
