Six wins from 23 Flat runs. Nineteenth of 25 in handicap (22/1) at this course (6f, good) on final outing in September. Boasts a decent record when fresh so no forlorn hope on this return to action.
|
Won Group 3 over 6f here in 2023. Largely operating below best in listed/Group company last year but may of needed first start for 5 months having rejoined this yard when ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, soft) 13 days ago, not knocked about. Entitled to be sharper.
|
Course winner who justified good support when winning 14-runner handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) in October, Career-high mark to defy on return/back at the minimum trip but respected nevertheless.
|
Useful gelding who enhanced good record when fresh when bagging C&D handicap last March. Below best when last of 9 in Cork listed contest (6f) 12 months ago but time to catch him could well be back from a break.
|
Rapid improver in handicaps last summer, making it 4 wins from last 5 starts in 15-runner C&D contest in September. Much inflated mark to contend with on seasonal bow but unlikely he's done improving just yet on that evidence.
|
5f maiden winner last summer who ran respectably back from 5 months off when seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers back on.
|
Course winner who, after 5 months off posted a respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, soft, 5/1) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly having won second time out last term.
|
Progressive at 4 yrs, resuming winning ways in 13-runner C&D handicap in November before an excellent second of 15 in handicap (15/8) at Doncaster (6f, heavy) later that month. Speed he shows suggests this may prove his optimum trip
|
In rude health on all-weather in recent months, landing back-to-back 5f handicaps at Dundalk prior to finishing a fine second at that track/trip 8 days ago. This tougher back on turf but hard to rule out a good showing in this groove.
|
Blinkered for 1st time, 6¾ lengths tenth of 15 to Keke in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 20/1) in September. Needs to hit the ground running back from 6 months off.
|
Night Of Thunder filly who confirmed debut promise when landing 7f Gowran maiden in September. Shaped better than bare result having made an eye-catching move when eighth of 9 in Group 3 here (7f) on final start and she remains open to improvement now handicapping.
|
One win from 2 runs last year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy, 10/3) by 1¼ lengths from Two Stars in April. Things can't have been plain sailing to be absent since but she's compiling a very solid record, including at the minimum trip.

Forecasts
Two Stars (85/40), Stag Night (6/1), Magical Vision (15/2), Go Athletico (15/2), Keke (8/1), Sturlasson (8/1), Real Force (12/1), Greatest Drama (12/1), Betsen (16/1), The Highway Rat (22/1), Heavenly Power (25/1), Sporting Hero (33/1)
KEKE ended last season on a steep upward curve, posting a decidedly useful effort when signing off with success over C&D in September. He looks one to keep on side this campaign on that evidence and shades the vote over Two Stars, who looks the type to do better again himself as a 5-y-o. Real Force and Stag Night complete the shortlist.
