Made all on stable debut latest, up 9lb, well drawn, ground versatile, bold bid likely

Won twice at Listowel last week, raised 16lb to 82, career best needed now; reserve

Won off 5lb lower in July, good effort off this mark latest, rain would boost claims

C&D winner, good efforts at Galway and the Curragh this year, down in grade, can go well

Fine effort at Galway, well below that level thrice since, blinkers need to spark revival

Maiden, placed twice earlier this season, last three runs poor, now tongue tied

0-7 on turf, no show on latest, unraced beyond 7f, others make more appeal

Dual-purpose, best recent Flat form at 1m4f-1m6f, trip surely too sharp here

Maiden, yet to hit the frame, last of 15 on latest at Killarney, hard to make a case for
