J: Julian Pietropaolo

T: Kevin Michael Smith

Won handicap at Dundalk over 1m in November off 3lb lower; two solid runs on turf when fifth and fourth at the Curragh and Leopardstown; bounced back after below-par effort to score at Limerick (yielding) on Wednesday, keeping on well to beat Mythical Rock by 1.25l; leading claims if backing up quickly.

J: Colin Keane

40-1 win on AW/handicap debut last August and solid opening efforts on turf this season, including Leopardstown fourth (Ohmali second) over this trip; didn't count at the Curragh on latest but Keane booking takes the eye.

J: Julian Pietropaolo

T: Kevin Michael Smith

Modest form in turf maidens before 40-1 win on AW/handicap debut last August; made a pleasing return when staying on for fifth of 15 over 7f at this venue; every chance now after another solid display when fourth at Leopardstown.

Modest form in turf maidens before 40-1 win on AW/handicap debut last August; made a pleasing return when staying on for fifth of 15 at the Curragh 11 days ago; extra furlong will suit; fair chance for rider with plenty of pony-racing experience
