Lightly-raced winner. 3/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to firm) 23 days ago, kept up to work. More will be needed under top-weight on this handicap bow.
|
2 wins from 5 runs this year. 12/1, career best when winning 19-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago. 9 lb rise could be enough to anchor him.
|
Respectable 4½ lengths fifth of 19 to Universally in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 18/1) 12 days ago. Enjoys a healthy pull at the weights with that rival and merits respect.
|
C&D winner. 9/2, bit below form 4½ lengths sixth of 19 to Universally in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago. Not discounted.
|
Respectable 3¾ lengths third of 19 to Universally in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago. 7 lb better off with that rival now, so may well turn the tables.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 7 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good) 40 days ago. Should progress and he's one for the shortlist.
|
Eleven runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Jedd O'Keeffe when thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to firm, 25/1) 23 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
|
50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, 14¾ lengths last of 7 to Azure Blue in listed race at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 44 days ago. Hood back on for this handicap debut. Something to find on form.

Forecasts
Mehmar (7/4), Gordon Bennett (9/2), Universally (11/2), Never Shout Never (13/2), Moltophino (17/2), Collective Power (9/1), Gaenari (11/1), Devil's Angel (50/1)
Unexposed 3-y-o MOLTOPHINO is taken to get his head in front following near misses at Gowran and most recently over this C&D. Never Shout Never and Collective Power were third and fifth respectively behind Universally here 12 days ago but have strong prospects of reversing the placings on these revised terms. Gordon Bennett, who also contested that handicap, finishing sixth, is dangerous to discount.
