Made it 3 wins from 4 since joining Gordon Elliott when making the most of a good opportunity at Roscommon in early-June. Probably found a busy spell catching up with him behind Malbay Madness here since. Should make a better fist of things following an 8-week break.

Smooth-travelling type. Recorded his first success away from Kilbeggan when completing a double over C&D in mid-June. Beaten 9½ lengths in relatively valuable Bellewstown handicap in hat-trick bid. Has a more realistic chance at the weights here.

Back over hurdles for first time since completing a double at Clonmel last June. First-time blinkers will need to spark a revival, though, having again finished well held over fences at Wexford last time.

Only made it to the track twice since winning C&D maiden in 2024, pulling up on first start since rejoining current yard at Kilbeggan in May.

Fairly useful Flat winner. Didn't offer much in 4 hurdle runs before a forgivable effort on the level at Galway last week. Cheekpieces go on first time in this sphere (on for both Flat wins), though will have a better chance back in low-grade handicaps.

Forecasts

Chanceawetmorning (4/5), Cosmos D'ainay (11/8), Malbay Madness (2/1), Trasna Na Pairce (5/1), Shinnhill (16/1), Cap Bernat (16/1), Tribal Moon (50/1)

Verdict

There should be more to come from COSMOS D'AINAY, who can make it 2-2 for the season. Malbay Madness is narrowly preferred to Chanceawetmorning in the battle for silver.
