Sole win in 16 starts came in a claimer earlier in the year at Gowran Park. Placed just once in six starts since and very disappointing at Leopardstown, before beaten on the beach at Laytown. Looks a tall order on recent form.

11/1

Second of 15 in a Killarney handicap over 1m on soft ground beaten ½L but has been largely disappointing this season, never looking like winning. Worth a market check now back down to a dangerous mark.

Age: 10| Weight: 8-8| J: Rory Cleary| T: P Meany| OR: 50| D

Forecasts

Compass Hill (7/4), Path Of Silver (6/1), Feeling Easy (7/1), Zircon (9/1), Lomi's Law (10/1), Eleuthera (10/1), Military Hill (11/1), Hatton Cross (11/1), Apache Gold (16/1), Full Shilling (16/1), Sea Of Hope (20/1), Camile (20/1), L'ambre Gris (25/1), Enough Is Enough (33/1)

Apache Gold will break with Loki's Law from stalls 11 and 12 showing early speed along with Military Hill and Zircon from the other side of the draw. The early speed could have the race falling to the likes of Compass Hill, Eleuthera and PATH OF SILVER who will be doing their best work at the business end of the race.
