T: Noel C Kelly

Dual-purpose; 1-7 on the Flat; won over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May; below par on last Flat run at Fairyhouse; his flat win came off 64 at Down Royal (1m5f, good) and is 15lb higher here; handles testing ground but may need some respite from the handicapper.

Consistency rewarded with a defeat of 15 rivals over 2m at Ballinrobe in May but after looking threatening to a point he faded into a remote fourth at Sligo (2m1f, good to yielding); remains on the same career-high mark.

T: Noel C Kelly

Down the field in 1m6f handicap at Fairyhouse last time; much better judged on consistent handicap hurdle form that culminated in a Ballinrobe win in May; two wins and three places from his last six runs over hurdles; 8lb higher than for his most recent win.
