Twice placed at two; missed all of last year; second in two turf maidens this year, and also a fair fifth of 16 in a competitive handicap at Cork; a bit too keen when not quite failing to match his best form on AW debut at Dundalk last month; good overall credentials for this.

Twice finished third at two and missed all of last year; first two runs this term were good, including fifth in decent handicap at Cork; in first-time blinkers, was no match for a patiently-ridden winner after trying to make all at Ballinrobe; first go on Polytrack and related to AW winners.

Rated 85; has returned from mammoth layoff with encouraging runs in a Gowran maiden (Cracking Cloud a nose behind) and in a handicap at Cork (10.5f, gd-yld); should be thereabouts returned to maiden company in first-time blinkers.

Lightly raced maiden shaped well initially in 2yo maidens; missed his entire 3yo campaign and reappeared to chase home a clear winner in 9.5f Gowran maiden; entitled to come on for that although needs to in order to justify this rating on handicap debut.

Third in 7f course maiden on debut before narrowly denied at Naas; gelded after last of five in Leopardstown Group 3 in July 2024; creditable fifth in Goffs Million that September; that's the strongest form on offer; the one to beat if he's ready after a lengthy absence.
