Landed three of his five career victories here but three efforts in 2019 suggest father time may have caught up with him.

Stepped up 5f in trip and massively in level when second of 16 over 2m1f at Bath on final start in Britain last October. Absence to overcome on stable bow but seriously unexposed and respected.

7/2
Found some consistency of late with fifth (1m4f) and fourth (1m5f) placed efforts at this course and given he's effective at up to 2m and again lowered by the handicapper he has a real shout today.

Unproven over this trip with 1m2f win on heavy ground his best performance. Back to something like form of late but still far from certain to stay this trip.

4/7
Off the mark over 1m6f at Bellewstown two starts back and readily followed up at Limerick over 1m4½f latest. Upped 9lb for the latest success but her rate of progress and out of form opposition make the hat-trick very likely.

Forecasts

Dinard Rose (4/7), All Body And Soul (7/2), Walter Sickert (7/1), King Christophe (11/1), Lady Annalee (16/1), Hurricane Sky (20/1)

Verdict

Noel Meade's DINARD ROSE has improved greatly since going up in trip and in a race where all of her rivals face question marks she looks by far and away the most likely winner. Unexposed stayer Walter Sickert is the dark horse and most respected rival ahead of All Body And Soul.
  1. Dinard Rose
  2. Walter Sickert
  3. All Body And Soul
