Had some excellent form early this year on the AW here but hasn't been able to reproduce that since switching to turf. Has to hold fair claims dropping into claiming company back on AW.
No win anywhere since October 2015 but did go close in AW claimer at this track in December, Beaten 8¼L in 7f Fairyhouse claimer (good) a week ago on second start back from a layoff.
Won over C&D this meeting last year, has typically been racing over further since but remains consistent on this surface. Well held in Bellewstown hurdles contest (2m½f, good) recently.
Moss Vale gelding finished a long way last of seven in 1m1½f Gowran Park maiden (good) 17 days ago on debut. Has plenty to find on that evidence.
One win from 19 career starts came in a C&D claimer in October last, undoubtedly has some ability but twice left his rider at the start in five runs at this track early in the year, so clearly not the most trustworthy of customers.
Six wins from 39 career starts on the AW, most recently scoring here over 1m2½f in March. Also boasts four previous C&D wins.
Winner at Musselburgh (goes well there) for David O'Meara in October, but in nothing like the same form for current connections, and opposable until showing more of his old spark.
Fair effort when second in Fairyhouse claimer over 7f (good) last week, a modest gelding but entitled to go well if handling AW first time out and yard remains in decent form.
Sole success came at Gowran Park over 7f on soft to heavy ground when wearing blinkers for the first time in October. No encouragement in four starts this season ahead of drop into this class.

Forecasts
Burn The Boats (3/1), Vocal Activity (3/1), Specific Gravity (10/3), Six Silver Lane (6/1), Seanie (7/1), Hymn For The Dudes (8/1), Reddot Express (14/1), Opt Out (16/1), What About Bob (66/1), Comeragh Vale (66/1)
Specific Gravity won over this trip at this meeting a year ago and should hold fair claims of doing so again now back on the Flat. Seanie is another that has decent form at the track and he made a satisfying return on turf at Fairyhouse recently that should leave him spot on for his. BURN THE BOATS however was loving life around here early in the year, twice winning and twice more going close at this level. Things haven’t taken off on turf since but, back at this place, he might be the answer. Vocal Activity is also considered while any money behind the raiding Hymn For The Dudes should be well noted.
