Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Not seen since finishing a creditable sixth of 10 in handicap chase (5/1) at Clonmel (16.4f, heavy) in February 2024 but has been given a bit of a chance by the handicapper and interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Forecasts

Woodstream Lad (6/4), Bynx (7/2), Itwasfate (4/1), Depalma (13/2), Tuckmill (9/1), Time Marches On (16/1)

WOODSTREAM LAD shaped promisingly over a longer trip at Kilbeggan last time and can come good now back over shorter. Bynx ran quite well in a C&D maiden a fortnight ago and might provide the main threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding returning Henry de Bromhead 8-y-o Itwasfate.
