Won 17-runner maiden at Cork (8.6f, heavy, 10/1), despite having worst of draw on final run for John Kiely. Back after 11 months off but interesting contender for new yard.

11/1

Winner at Gowran in August but last of 11 in handicap (6/1) at the Curragh (12f, soft) 17 days ago. Down in trip with hood on now but others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Teed Up (7/2), Dance Jupiter (4/1), Maud Gonne Spirit (4/1), Sirjack Thomas (5/1), Roving Mission (7/1), Great Grey (10/1), Laggata (11/1), Major Reward (14/1), Trading Point (18/1), High Altitude (28/1), Sod's Law (80/1)

DANCE JUPITER has a lengthy absence to overcome but looked a useful sort in the making when scoring at Cork so is taken to go in again on his debut for Joseph O'Brien. Teed Up also has better days ahead of him so looks the one to give him most to do along with recent Gowran winner Maud Gonne Spirit.
