Creditable second of 10 in handicap (18/5) at Leopardstown (7f, good) 28 days ago, no match for winner. Likely to be thereabouts in current mood.

28/1

C&D winner. 80/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, sixteenth of 22 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 61 days ago. Bit to prove on the back of that low-key reappearance.

13/2

Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner minor event (9/2) at Sligo (5.8f, good) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Has to be taken seriously.

Forecasts

Dairerin (3/1), Half Nutz (10/3), Earls (7/2), Band Width (13/2), Eloquent Arthur (15/2), Rock Etoile (17/2), Chambery Prince (11/1), Numoor (14/1), Dragon Of Malta (20/1), Improving (28/1), Sky Dweller (150/1)

BAND WIDTH was back on the up when scoring at Sligo recently and is worth a chance to improve further and go in again. Earls and Half Nutz both found only one too good last time and should be on the premises.
