Excellent effort at Fairyhouse last month when beaten less than 2L in second of 17 over 6f on good ground before, fifth of eight in a Leopardstown handicap. Yard good record here in July/August.
Dead-heated in a 7f maiden at Listowel (good) in June last year and placed second twice since. Well beaten on three most recent starts however
Was probably feeling the impact of a 7lb increase in the weights when disappointing at Cork last time, but also may have found the ground too firm. Remains on the same mark now though ground is still a potential negative.
Making his first appearance since being gelded when winning on handicap debut over 6f at Fairyhouse on good ground last month, ran a cracker off a 14lb higher mark to finish a neck behind The McGregornator last time out at Naas.
Best effort in three starts came over 7f at Limerick when attempting to make all, before fourth of 14, beaten 3¼L behind Rise Again in a Naas maiden. Handicap debut.
Good third at Limerick on her comeback run in April but well beaten in follow up bid, before putting a terrible run here behind her when second of 13, beaten 1½L on good to firm in a Naas handicap.
Recorded back-to-back victories last September but hadn't been as effective so far this year, before an encouraging third of 11, beaten 1½L behind Dandy's Gold, here at the end of last month.
Improved effort at Limerick 13 days ago over 7f in maiden sporting first-time hood, before well beaten, no impression in a Curragh maiden in May. Interesting on handicap debut.
Beaten a head over 7f here on soft-to-heavy ground on handicap debut on final start of last year back in October. Readily won on seasonal debut in a Fairyhouse handicap at the beginning of last month, beating 16 rivals.
Five-race maiden on the AW but she has shown some hints of ability in that sequence, before second of 16 over 6f on good ground 2¾L behind Guiding Star in a Fairyhouse handicap.
Six-race maiden showed some promise in two AW handicaps last year, before a fine second on seasonal debut behind Dandy's Gold, here nine days ago, but up 3lb for his effort.
Maiden after eight starts including over 6f last time out. Best handicap effort came over 1m, but since beate 12L and 15L.
Owned by Ontoawinner Syndicate, bought for £35,000 as a yearling and £20,000 by current owners, but must put disappointing runs behind him.
Barely beaten a rival home on all four of his starts, 10th of 19 last time out, beaten 13L.
Peaked with a third at Limerick last term but has been well below that form on both season starts so far. Yard has a 33% place strike-rate here in July/August.
