11st 9lb

J: Michael O’Sullivan

T: Eugene M O’Sullivan

9lb lower when winning comfortably at Killarney (2m5f, good) so has to prove himself off this mark; ran no race next time and then departed early at Listowel.

10st 4lb

J: J J Slevin

T: Eugene M O’Sullivan

Won off 109 on penultimate start at Killarney (2m5f, yielding); bombed out at Galway off 9lb higher on latest; never won off a mark this high and very testing ground would be a concern; others more likely.

J: Mr Alan O’Sullivan

Returned from his break over hurdles and appreciated the return to fences when an emphatic winner at Killarney (2m5f, yielding); handicapper didn't hold back with a 9lb rise but this 8yo might be improving (now 3-7 as a chaser).

11st 10lb

J: Michael O’Sullivan

T: Eugene M O’Sullivan

Touched off over this C&D on penultimate start off a mark of 103 and just 2lb higher now; that run followed successive wins at Tipperary at 3m over hurdles and 2m7f over fences off 97 and 100 respectively; back from 332 days off with midfield finish at Tipperary; should improve for that comeback and usual tongue-tie back on.
