Good effort last time out. With improvement, can go well in this company. Jockey takes off a handy seven pounds. Trip and ground look to be no problem.

Won a maiden at Navan over 6 furlongs last year for previous trainer. 5th at Leopardstown on return. Each-way chance here today.

This seasoned competitor appears to present fair each-way value at 18/1, owing to his past victories at this C&D. Despite his recent struggles, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding has dropped to a threatening mark of 76, and his unyielding galloping style frequently shines in competitive handicaps.

Taking a bit of a punt with this one, as the horse has been out of form of late. That, of course, means his mark is back down to what should give him a chance to bounce back. Unlikely winner, but might sneak a place if back to his best. Risky each-way.
