Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at Enniscorthy then finished third at his latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 480m (29.74), beaten 2.75 lengths. Going okay but this is a test.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a nose over 480m at this track in a handy 29.49, beating Ballygur Diva. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Has been in great form, scoring three in a row before finishing second (29.50) last time at this track over 480m. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Was out of the placings last time over 480m at this track (29.83) in an A4, beaten 5 lengths. Goes very well at this track and trip, including six wins. Has ability and is a key chance.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a one length second (29.55) over 480m at this track last time. This appears within his reach.
