Won twice over 1m this term; in better form than most; possibly didn't see out 1m1f latest
4 (5)	Beautiful Affair Bay J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	135	p	230845	71	70	49	30d	—	—	-4	9.9	1.38/1	11/2 15%
0-7; bit below form on soft latest but should be in the mix back on preferred ground
6 (14)	Truth Be Told Bay J:Chris Hayes T:D K Weld	J:Chris Hayes T:D K Weld	135	v	53-659	75	74	59	47d	—	—	-5	10.7	1.25/1	5/1 17%

Low-key effort at Leopardstown when last seen on Flat; drop to this trip unlikely to help

Placed on debut; hasn't kicked on this term; shaped like further may suit over C&D latest
