Thumped out of sight in a 1m maiden on turf at Gowran Park 12 days ago on second racecourse start, drops in distance now for AW bow needing to find plenty improvement.

Approve gelding is a brother to 7f winner Secret Path and makes racecourse bow here representing a yard that are going well, one to note in the market.

Last of 16 runners in a mile maiden on turf at Gowran Park 12 days ago, with some of today's rivals ahead, will have to show a major upturn for switch to Polytrack to take a key role in this.

Wasn't unsupported on debut at this venue in December over the mile though unable to mount a challenge and finished well beaten, ran to similar form later the same month over this trip and has plenty to find now on reappearance.

Has run two nice races in turf maidens at Naas (6f) and Leopardstown (1m) already this campaign and deserves a good deal of respect on those showings. One of the more likely sorts.

Every chance this American bred colt wouldn't have been in love with soft ground on recent Gowran Park debut over the mile. Entitled to improve for that effort and should handle the Polytrack without any issues.

Improved somewhat from debut run when finishing in midfield in a 7f Cork maiden earlier this week on good-to-firm. First start on the AW now and may come forward again.

Forecasts

Ma Fee Heela (4/7), Silk Cravat (5/4), Mirror Man (2/1), Gubu (12/1), Creggs Lad (14/1), Reimagine (16/1), Iskandar Prince (16/1), Billyfairplay (20/1), Cut The Deck (25/1)

Verdict

An interesting maiden, with ex-British runner Silk Cravat perhaps boasting the best form on what he did last year. He is respected though will be returning from 286 days off now. That might give MA FEE HEELA the chance to take advantage, he's already run well enough in a pair of turf maidens this term and so boasts race fitness. Given that he cost connections £200,000 at the sales and has been supported in the betting twice, it's likely there is more to come from him. Mirror Man should have more to offer than was the case on soft ground in his debut run while Reimagine is another potential improver.
