10/1

Winner at the Curragh in September. 150/1, out of depth when 17¼ lengths last of 14 to Mountain Bear in listed race at Dundalk (7f) in October. This rates more suitable on return to action and underfoot conditions will hold no fears.

13/8

Dawn Approach gelding who showed promise initially in maidens last summer. Progress levelled out thereafter, well held on handicap debut at the Curragh (1m) in October. Pick of form gives him claims if subsequent 5-month break has had positive effect.

2/1

Improved for step up to this trip when close-up third at the Curragh (7f, heavy) in September. Creditable fourth from revised mark next time and final start at Dundalk in October best overlooked (hampered over 1f out). Not discounted on return.

A trappy 3-y-o handicap and with that in mind a chance is taken on RINGSIDE TIMING. He ended his 2-y-o campaign on a low-key note but a return to the pick of his form in maidens would make him of interest if bouncing back following 5 months off. Promo Queen and Uncle Albert head up the dangers.
