5/1

2 wins from 4 runs this year. 9/2, below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, heavy) 83 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Joseph Murphy and not taken lightly if back on his A-game.

Form: 80-1195

Forecasts

Tiger Beetle (4/1), Great Blasket (5/1), Hale End (5/1), Supaspecialawesome (7/1), Cosmos Raj (15/2), Wadacre Grace (8/1), Light Up Our Stars (8/1), Kaaranah (10/1), Sucellus (10/1), Lafan (50/1), Port Erin (80/1), Break Point (100/1)

HALE END is knocking on the door and can get back to winning ways eased 1 lb here having not enjoyed the rub of the green when third here last time. Tiger Beetle came out on top that day and rates the chief threat to Michael Dods's 3-y-o, with Wadacre Grace another who can have a say in an open contest.
