Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 104

2/1

Useful gelding. 11 lengths last of 7 to Goldana in Gladness Stakes (5/1) at the Curragh (7f, heavy), inadequate test. Off 150 days and back over a more suitable trip. Major player.

Form: 14/179-7

10/1

Useful gelding. Nineteenth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good to soft, 50/1) 3 days ago, missing break. Blinkers back on and tardy starts always a worry with him.

Forecasts

Fleetfoot (5/4), Hannibal Barca (2/1), Oriole (6/1), Migdam (13/2), Onameridance (8/1), Jungle Cove (10/1)

HANNIBAL BARCA is back over a much more suitable trip and on his peak form, his claims are fairly obvious on these terms. Migdam has yet to find his feet for this yard but it's still early days and he's feared most.
