Readily got off the mark in a C&D maiden last month; looks to have a workable mark

Retains ability but needs everything to go right and others look more reliable

Form tailed off in the summer; probably best watched on his first run for over four months

Ran okay behind Barbapapa over 1m last month but is more effective over 7f; opposable

Up 8lb for latest but comes in here fresh and could be the answer to a difficult puzzle

Drop back to seven might not have suited last time; could go well here back at this trip

7lb worse off with Pierre Lapin but generally reliable and should at least make the frame
8 (8)	Free Solo Chestnut J:Sean D Bowen(2) T:P J F Murphy	J:Sean D Bowen(2) T:P J F Murphy	134	tp	230873	77	95	62	28d	—	—	+6	12	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Yet to score here but some respectable efforts including when third over seven last month

Ran respectably in a C&D handicap on his stable debut two weeks ago; might not be far away

Not disgraced on his Irish debut here two weeks ago but more needed

Hung left but didn't run badly in a 1m2f handicap here last month; others preferred
