In and out sort with a couple of wins already this season, latest coming early June in Fairyhouse 1m2f (good) apprentice contest from 6lb lower mark. Has gone close twice in five runs since but also run a couple of stinkers and doubts about stamina mean he's opposable.

All eight career wins have come on the AW, yet to hit the frame in 19 starts of turf so looks to be carrying limited appeal in this competitive contest.

Veteran performer is in admirable form this term, beaten less than 1L over 1m3f (good) at Limerick three weeks ago. Generally been running well and while up 2lb here, could well be on the premises again.

Inconsistent but capable enough when the opportunity arises, and was a good winner on heavy ground over C&D in early April 2016. Also won around here over hurdles but recent efforts in that sphere leaving him with questions to answer back on the Flat.

Lightly-raced filly won a seller on good-to-firm ground at Goodwood in August but has found things tough going in both starts for this yard, beaten 37L in 2m1f good ground handicap at Limerick last month.

Returned from a 670-lay off with 1½L second of 15 at Tipperary (1m4½f, good) 15 days ago. Has been raised 3lb for her troubles and will have to prove she can do it a second time after a relatively short interval.

Made a pleasing start at Tipperary last May but soon went downhill. Acts best on heavy ground but little to take from his recent runs at Listowel and Roscommon and others make far more appeal despite big step up in trip.

Well held in three maidens last year, returned 15 days ago in 1m1f good ground handicap at Tipperary and was beaten 13½L having rarely threatened. Needs more but perhaps too soon to discount his chance.

Held in two recent runs at Leopardstown and Bellewstown having switched back to the Flat, runs off the same mark here and has a bit to find but could run into the places.

Beaten more than 15L on return at Naas (7f, good to firm) last month, has a bit to prove on form and now runs beyond a mile for the first time.

Unreliable sort who ran best race over 1m4f at the Curragh (good) in October, just failing. Not built on it in five runs this season but, from a 9lb lower rating, would be dangerous if able to reproduce it.

No win since 2014, though has run fair races in two starts this season at Limerick and Tipperary over this sort of trip. Suspicion remains that isn't well-handicapped for this contest.

With a win in 24 starts over jumps / on Flat, has been struggling in six starts this year in both disciplines and doesn't make significant appeal back on the level in what should be a competitive heat.

Well held in trio of maidens last summer at up to a mile. Returns now for handicap debut over significantly longer journey, worth a market check, given the trainer.

Unplaced in seven career starts, was beaten 7¾L at Naas last week on return to action over 1m2f (good). That was a fair start but will have to build on it.

Unable to get off the mark in six starts for Ger Lyons, needs to improve a good deal to alter that stat on first start for new trainer having been beaten 5½L in 1m2f Fairyhouse claimer last month.

Verdict

Shoulda Lied doesn't boast much in terms of form after three maidens last summer, but is duly noted reappearing over a longer trip for handicap debut from the yard of the champions jumps trainer. The veteran Kalann is going well this season and should be on the premises once more while High Kicker ran well at Tipperary recently but must be treated with caution on this second start back from almost two years off. Pirolo could threaten the places on a going day but it might be worth chancing his stablemate TRAIDISIUN instead. She wasn't beaten far last time over 1m4f at Fairyhouse and with her claiming rider is 10lb better off now if fancying the task in hand.
  1. Traidisiun
  2. Kalann
  3. Shoulda Lied
