Successful at Navan (1¼m) in March on final outing for Aidan Melia and has won twice for current yard since, over this trip at Ballinrobe in May and at Limerick (12.5f) in June. Never involved at Galway last time, but he now drops back in grade with blinkers refitted.
|
Returned to form with third-place finishes at Tramore (1½m) and Ballinrobe (13f) in July. Excuses when down the field at Gowran 8 days ago, saddle slipping early before denied a clear run, but she's still looking for a breakthrough handicap success.
|
Fairly useful winner on the Flat for current yard, landing a Listowel handicap (1¾m) last autumn. Has reached a similar level tried over hurdles this year, but reportedly bled when pulled up on latest outing in May.
|
Bounced back to form when runner-up in minor event at Fairyhouse (1¾m) last month. Again ran well returned to handicap company when close third at Naas (11f) 17 days ago and he can make his presence felt once more.
|
Won maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse in December before mid-field in Grade 2 at this venue later the same month. Back on the Flat after 7 months off, ran well when third on handicap debut at Galway (16.5f) 22 days ago. Could still have more to offer in this sphere.
|
Much improved upped to 1½m sent handicapping, successful here in May and going on to complete the hat-trick at the Curragh next time. Raced freely from his wide draw at Galway last month so he remains capable of better, though has a high stall to contend with again here.
|
Successful over 1½m at Dundalk on first 2 starts this season. Has continued in good heart since, making the frame twice on turf before faring best of those held up when second back at Dundalk last month. Enters calculations.
|
Losing run is mounting up but was placed twice in the spring. However, he's stopped quickly on 2 of his last 3 starts, tailed off at Galway (16.5f) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for.
|
Opened his account under a change of tactics when making all over this C&D last month. Failed to repeat that effort fitted with cheekpieces when tailed off at Galway (1¾m) 20 days ago, so bounce back called for returned to this venue.
|
Showed promise at this course (1¼m) on the first of 3 starts in maidens. However, has raced too freely upped in trip in handicaps the last twice, fifth of 6 at Limerick (12.5f) 6 weeks ago.
|
Proved a different proposition making handicap debut when never-nearer third of 13 at Cork (10.5f) in May. Confirmed that improvement when making the frame at Gowran (9.5f) the following month, so he's one to note as he goes up in trip.

Forecasts
Ben Hur (7/4), Darius Dark (4/1), Lauderdale King (11/2), Cooley's Mist (7/1), Pavilion End (11/1), Celtic Druid (12/1), Party Dress (12/1), Gaelic Drills (14/1), Sea Coral (18/1), Satono Chevalier (33/1), Ehteyat (33/1), Harry's Legacy (50/1)
PARTY DRESS shaped as if still in good form at this course last time and, having dropped to a career-low mark, she could be ready to get back to winning ways. Pavilion End hasn't been beaten far on his last 2 starts and is feared most, ahead of Celtic Druid.
