Runs well here; recent run on the Flat should have brought him on and one to consider

Front-runner much improved last autumn; back from a break, could go well
2	Baltic Bird Bay J:Patrick M O'Brien(7) T:William Durkan	J:Patrick M O'Brien(7) T:William Durkan	161	—	7-1407	125	135	104	177d	—	—	+7	23.8	1.00/1	4/1 20%

Much improved when awarded recent Down Royal maiden; more likely now entering handicaps
1	Fiveonefive Bay J:Jordan Gainford T:Cian Collins	J:Jordan Gainford T:Cian Collins	166	—	61085F	130	133	108	25d	—	—	+15	22.6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Halfway faller on return from winter break last month at Wexford; may just need this

Promising comeback chase run; down to his last winning mark so one to consider
8	Presenting Lad Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Mark Michael McNiff	J:Phillip Enright T:Mark Michael McNiff	152	t	311137	116	131	77	187d	—	—	+25	30	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Conditions to suit but lack of a recent run has been a negative in recent seasons
NR	Garrybello Bay J:Sam Ewing T:Thomas Cooper	J:Sam Ewing T:Thomas Cooper	157	ht	F77P-3	121	132	-	—	—	—	—	20.8	—	—
Ideally wants it softer but has run creditably on good; lack of a recent run a concern
NR	Zoffanien Bay J:John Shinnick(5) T:Terence O'Brien	J:John Shinnick(5) T:Terence O'Brien	156	—	53F-03	120	137	119	41d	—	—	—	17.5	—	—
Very encouraging Navan comeback run; better ground to suit and likely major player
