Inconsistent form this season, finishing sixth of 16 in handicap at Gowran Park (33/1) 9 days ago with first-time tongue strap. Remains on a workable mark.
|
Won at Cork (9/1) 90 days ago but eighth of 16 at Fairyhouse (11/2) 26 days ago when running respectably but looking one-paced.
|
Produced best effort in a while when second of 16 in 7f handicap at Fairyhouse (4/1) 26 days ago. Sixth of 11 in handicap over course and distance (14/1) 12 days ago, having gone off too hard. Better judged on that previous run. Respected.
|
Close third at Leopardstown in June. Fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 12 days ago, racing wide but rallied late on. First-time eyeshields replacing tongue strap could spark improvement. One to consider.
|
Showed promise with two close fifths in 5.9f handicaps in May before form dipped, finishing 10th of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7/1) 26 days ago without usual headgear. Return to form possible in this company.
|
Won this race last year and has shown fair form in several runs this season. Seventh of 11 in handicap over course and distance (17/2) 12 days ago, running below par in changed headgear. Shortlisted.
|
Three unplaced maiden efforts, most recently fifth of 10 at Cork (6f) at 16/1 90 days ago when weakening after making the running. Handicap debut.
|
Won a maiden claimer over 7f in May but never a threat when third of 4 at Fairyhouse (9/4) 26 days ago when upped in trip. Better suited by this distance. First run for new trainer.
|
Successful twice in last 4 handicap starts. Won a 16-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (13/2) 52 days ago, took keen hold and well positioned before going on over 1f out. Can go well again.
|
Finished second of 17 in handicap at Naas (28/1) 12 days ago. Nudged back up 3 lb but not sure to be in same form.
|
Maiden who finished ninth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (12/1) 33 days ago when wearing first-time visor. Visor now removed.
|
Shown little in four starts, finishing 7th of 8 at Fairyhouse (16/1) 67 days ago when never threatened. First-time visor replaces tongue strap.
|
Won 7f handicap with front-running tactics at Roscommon (13/2) 34 days ago but finished last of 16 at Galway (11/1) 3 days ago.
|
Making progress in handicaps, most recently finishing fourth of 18 at Leopardstown (20/1) 60 days ago when challenging 2f out but no extra close home. Could build on recent performances dropped back to 7f.
|
Yet to show much in five starts, most recently when seventh of 12 in handicap at Killarney (14/1) 21 days ago. Needs improvement dropping in trip with tongue strap removed.
|
Fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 12 days ago. Now trying first-time blinkers. RESERVE.

FERRYBANK has been consistently solid and could be the way to go with new headgear. Secret Magician won this race last year and remains capable despite a below-par effort last time, while Verhoyen showed good form when second at Fairyhouse recently.
