Inconsistent type who is very dangerous when at his best but hasn't been showing enough recently to suggest that a revival is likely as proved by 11th of 12 last day in Leopardstown handicap.
Winner of 1m2f handicap at Leopardstown on final start last year, scoring by a narrow margin. Fifth of eight following 258 day lay-off in Navan 1m2f handicap.
Recorded her second success when winning by 4L over 1m at Navan (good-to-firm) a month ago, before last of eight, well beaten in Down Royal, extended 1m2f handicap last month.
Raised 8lb for dead-heating with Settle For Red over this trip (yielding to soft) at Leopardstown in the early part of June, before last of 10, beaten 12L in 1m Curragh handicap.
Without a win in 13 runs, the eight most recent of which have come since switching to this trainer and turnaround hasn't exactly looked likely of late.
Forecasts
Castle Guest (3/1), Palmones (10/3), Vastonea (7/2), Snoozing Indian (5/1), Remarkable Lady (6/1), Rosenborg Rider (11/1)
Difficult race that may ultimately be falsely run. The best form features, Remarkable Lady, Palmones, won over CD in competitive eight runner handicap at the end of last month and VASTONEA, who can come on for his 5L defeat on seasonal debut at Navan.
