Broke his maiden at the first time of asking over 1m4f at Listowel (heavy) in September but disappointed in Listed company at Ascot over 1m6f subsequently. Interesting runner in this.

Failed to score since winning at Deauville on the AW when making his debut in January 2015. Not beaten far at Dundalk the last twice and interesting having finished a close second off a 3lb higher mark on turf last July.

Notched up Flat and hurdle double at Tramore last August but below par since then including when 12L ninth over this distance at Clonmel (good-to-firm) earlier this month.

Only success to date came at Dundalk on the AW in March 2014. Well beaten the last twice and looks badly outclassed in this.

Dual bumper winner in July last year and ran well in decent contests in that sphere since including at Cheltenham in a Grade 1 event in March. Beaten 8L on Flat debut over 1m6f at Leopardstown (soft) last month and more needed here.
Three time winner over hurdles and successful once in a bumper. Beaten 7¾L into fourth when making her Flat debut over 2m1f at Clonmel (good-to-firm) last month. Interesting runner today.

Forecasts

Aydoun (11/8), Mountain Rock (13/8), Abraham (4/1), Grand Partner (7/1), Supreme Vinnie (14/1), Glendine River (20/1), Zambezi Tiger (200/1)

Verdict

AYDOUN disappointed when seemingly well fancied for a Listed event last September and can register his second career success by taking this 2m1f event. The selection has raced exclusively over shorter to date but his breeding suggests he will be effective on the softer surface predicted here and he can get the better of Abraham who was beaten 2L in a handicap last time out with useful bumper horse Mountain Rock taken to finish third.
  1. Aydoun
