Formerly with Richard Whittaker, had a busy time of it lately but didn't stop him winning a 6f Naas handicap on good ground two weeks ago, up 5lb for that effort.
All six career wins have come on the AW surfaces, doesn't look the same horse on turf and has placed just twice in 15 starts, but that includes last day in Limerick claiming race over 6f when third of 18.
Registered his first success when winning a 19 runner 5f handicap at Navan (good) in early May. Has run well off a mark of 56 at Cork, Tipperary and Naas, just 2lb higher.
Well held in handicap at Fairyhouse from modest mark, but seemed to show improved form when third in a maiden over 5f at Tipperary last month, before sixth of eight, beaten 8L at same track 17 days ago.
Comes here on a hat-trick following wins over 7f at Roscommon and Leopardstown last day, when holding off 12 rivals In good heart but now 13lb higher than first win.
17-race maiden. Showed some moderate promise last summer without getting off the mark, poor in four runs this season, including sixth of 14, last day in Bellewstown 5f handicap, 17 days ago.
Tends to save his best work for Limerick, hitting the frame again at that venue last month, before sixth of 18, in a 6f Fairyhouse handicap, though only beaten 2¼L at 5/1f.
First run for 261 days. Well beaten and no impression on three starts last term.
In good form on the AW earlier this year having placed on three of his last four starts at Dundalk. Beaten in 6f Naas handicap at the end of last month, finishing 10th of 20, beaten 11½L.
15-race maiden has shown bits and pieces of very modearte form in most recent starts on AW. Encouraging seventh of 18 in 6f Fairyhouse handicap when beaten 3½L 18 days ago.
0-from-16 for his previous yard and well beaten, no impression on two starts for current yard, oncluding 43L defeat last day at Gowran Park over 1m.
Beaten a total of 55+L on just four career starts.
Well beaten in three maiden outings last autumn and last of 20 on handicap debut over 6f (yielding) at Naas last month.
Hard to generate any confidence based on three runs over 7f/1m and a drastic drop back to 5f last day resulted in a well beaten ninth of 10, beaten 11L at Tipperary.
No impression, ridden over 1f out, kept on same pace, never a factor, when last of eight at Navan nine days ago, following 17L defeat over this trip at the Curragh last month.
First Reserve: Not beaten far on last three starts despite the ugly figures.
Second Reserve: Beaten almost 9L at Down Royal last month on return from over a year on the sidelines, before 12L defeat last day at Navan.
Out of sorts and no signs of improvement on any of his nine seasonal starts, including beaten 7+L last day in Bellewstown 5f handicap 17 days ago.

17-race maiden, A Likely Story, Red All Star and Get Some could take each other on here for the early lead in this competitive handicap. Count Of Carabass, sixth of 18, in a 6f Fairyhouse handicap, though only beaten 2¼L at 5/1f and Tom Dooley, going for the hat-trick, can both make the frame, but preference is for PILLAR, Has run well off a mark of 56 on three starts and is 2lb higher here and could be an each way shout.
- Pillar
- Count Of Carabass
- Tom Dooley
