Ray Cody's 6 year old Gelding MERLIN THE WIZARD gets the nod here, This Son of CAMELOT was 4 lengths off the winner here @Leopardstown last summer in class 2 company off a mark of 82 & hasn't looked too bad on the all weather coming off a 213 day break finishing 5 lengths then finishing 2 lengths 23 days ago again @Dundalk with a much more prominent ride. This charge is now 8lbs lighter for that run here @Leopardstown & is drawn in stall #1. Jockey Donagh O'Connor remains in the saddle. This lad has won off 88 when riding for Harry & Rodger Charlton across the pond & is starting to look like he's ready to strike.

I thought James Barcoe's 7 year old Gelding SPELLACY'S CROSS was running okay considering he was running his first race after returning from a 144-day break at Clonmel (19f, heavy) before being badly hampered, which of course didn't help. That was on soft ground, and he should appreciate the better ground here. He arrives here 22 lbs lower than his chase mark of 106 and won over this trip at the similar undulating Clonmel by five lengths in October on quicker ground. Jockey Daniel King takes the reins for the trainer, which is a positive with their 66.67% win strike rate in the past year. Bottom weighted here and should strip fitter now, with the last-time-out a pipe opener on quicker ground. Not one to dismiss off his lower hurdles mark.

Fozzy Stack's 4 year old Filly BELIEVETH has me very intrigued here on her handicap debut for a yard that certainly knows how to land a gamble. This Daughter of ACCLAMATION has the pedigree in her veins for this 1 mile trip & didn't embarrass herself with her only run on the turf finishing 8th (of 19) keeping on @The Curragh (6f) In a race full of next time out winners who have gone on to compete in much deeper contests. Traimer has a very impressive 40.91% place strike rate with his Handicap Debutants & has a 71.43% place strike rate the past 14 days. Experienced Pilot Seamie Heffernan has a 40% place strike rate the past fortnight. The odds are bang on at 18/1 but returning back to the level, up in trip for a very Shrewd trainer this looks a very realistic plot.

Big odds on offer here for Katy Brown's 11 year old Veteran Gelding ART OF UNITY and I'm not quite sure why?! This Son of MAZAMEER is certainly stuck in his ways & by that I mean he wants conditions just right, What's the Old saying "You can't treat an Old Dog/Horse new tricks" which is fine we want a 5f Sprinter, who loves give in the ground, loves the tight sharp turns here in County Meath & acts well fresh - Audition Passed!. This Wiley Veteren returned from a 111 day sabbatical when last seen here winning from a wide Draw (better drawn today) but then subsequently disqualified. Jockey Luke McAteer is booked & arrives here in decent form. Trainer has a 33.33% Win strike rate with her new Arrivals. Lots to like here for this old boy who knows his job arriving here on the same mark when last seen here. It would be foolish to totally Dismiss his chances.

I'm a bit late to the races today so a little annoyed at myself for missing the 40's that were on offer for Thomas Coyle's 7 year old Gelding SELECTIVE POWER. This Son of TAMAYUZ is flying under the radar a little (in my humble opinion) & 'should' appreciate a return back on the level here today after a spin on the All Weather. This charge is still 5lbs above his last winning mark on 64 here BUT won going away by 7½ lengths @Roscommon (7f Soft - OR 59) In September & was only 3 lengths off PERRY MASON in deeper company @the Curragh (8f Heavy) off a mark of 70. This lad arrives here on a mark of 64 & drops in class with Soft ground being no problem at all. Jockey James Ryan has a 28.57% Win strike rate with this Charge. Potentially fitter with juice in the ground at a sharp track, A chance can be taken.

I'm a little perplexed as to why Gordon Elliott's 11-year-old French gelding Favori de Champdou is currently trading at 40/1. This son of Saddler Maker has been a revelation since Christmas when winning the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown by 4½ lengths, outrunning his huge 66/1 odds. This French old boy didn't rest on his laurels and then hacked up by 8 lengths in the Cross Country at Cheltenham. This lad was wound up before flag fall at Cheltenham, yet despite this still ran a very strong race in defeat, finishing 2nd, 18 lengths in front of 3rd place. Ground versatile, so he won't mind the forecast rain. The trainer knows how to win this. This charge is clearly in good spirits, and at these odds I'm happy enough to nail my (French) colours to the mast.

I think a case can be made here for Mark Fahey's 6 year old Mare FERRARI DESERT. This Daughter of ACCLAMATION can be forgiven (in my humble opinion) for the two glaring 00 on her form line but this Mare was returning from a gargantuan 315 day sabbatical when last seen here @Dundalk & then sent over the juice filled turf @the Curragh SO 'Should' strip fitter for that here. There are positives to pull from her antepenultimate run here when finishing ½ length off the winner when headed on the line (8f) off a mark of 63 in a deeper contest & now arrives here off 59 with another 7lbs being shed by Claimer Joseph Hartnett. 7f is much more up this Mare's Street. Fitness now assumed I think this charge is a real threat.

I'm happy to side with a Dundalk Stalwart here in the shape of David Marnane's 10 year old Gelding JERED MADDOX who has a whopping 8 wins here on his CV. This Son of LAWMAN didn't look dead & buried here 21 days ago making headway 2 from the lollypop with jockey also reporting that charge was a little hampered in the final furlong. Jockey Luke McAteer is always a welcome addition in the cockpit & certainly knows how to get a spin out of this old boy with a very impressive 33.33% win strike rate. This charge steps up in trip, drops in class & weight (1lb) & should never be discounted here @Dundalk.

I was happy enough to take 12/1 on this last night & the slight drift to 16/1 still hasn't got me moving off Patrick McKenna's 8 year old Gelding ROCK ETOLIE who on the surface wouldn't appear to jump off the pages of today's Racing Post & for good reason a form reading of 40-000 is hardly inspiring stuff BUT these recent runs were all on the All weather so reverting back to the turf doesn't look illogical & it seems even less when returning back here @Gowran Park, a course that has served this Son of FASTNET ROCK very well in the past which his 66.67% place strike rate suggests. This charge is pretty ground versatile & looks extremely well treated here winning off marks of 56-58 here In County Kilkenny (arrives here on 48). Experienced Hands take the reins in the shape of Seamie Heffernan. A chance to be taken.

I've been looking at this race for longer than I should have (according to the wife) but rightly or wrongly I can't move off Aengus King's 6 year old Mare LA TULIPE NOIR especially at current 20/1 odds. This Daughter of BERKSHIRE can be forgiven for finishing down the field @the Curragh last time out when coming off a 112 day break but if we go go back to her two previous runs on the level we have (in my humble opinion) a bit of substance to work with. This Mare was only only 1 length of KEY WITNESS keeping on @the Curragh(7f Heavy) & in fairness didn't get much luck in running & prior to that we have a 3rd @Galway (8f Soft/Heavy) finishing 3 lengths behind Irish Lincolnshire winner RIBEE both of those runs coming off a mark of 64. Jockey Jessica O'Gorman takes the reins today & sheds a very useful 7lbs off this charges back & knows how to get a tune out of this Mare. This Lass 'should' strip fitter for her pipe opener today for her pipe opener & has the ability to upset the apple cart here today.

You may look at Conor Maxwell's 3 year old Filly SURVIVOR'S CODE and say "No bloody chance!" & You'd not be wrong in thinking that 16 lengths behind the winner 9 days ago @Navan (10f Heavy) does not scream "Back me" BUT if you watch this contest back this Daughter of NANDO PARRADO was bang there at the 8f marker looking strong which is certainly a plus & when considering this was coming off a 154 day sabbatical this Nag becomes alot more interesting (at least to me anyways) - 20/1 odds are also very welcome. This charge drops 1lb & drops back in trip is drawn well In stall #3. I could be barking totally up the wrong tree (more than likely) but in a contest where a lot of these runner's are returning off big breaks I'm happy enough to side with this Filly who 'Could' give a bitter account of herself now fitter.

I'm sticking with my tracker for my Final tip of the day with Gordon Elliott's 7 year old French Gelding PRENDS GARDE A TOI who I was very bullish on heading into Cheltenham in which he just seemed like a completely different horse. The softer ground 'Should' help aswell as the booking of Yards #1 jockey Jack Kennedy. This challenge represents a big drop down in class & you'd think there would be serious questions asked if this French lad failed to put in a competitive performance here today. Were still getting double figure odds (12/1 currently) & I'm happy to put my faith in him one last time. Good luck.

I've been starting at this for the past few hours now & I have to agree with some of my fellow tipsters here (be sure to head over to the discord) that this is pure chuck a dart & see terrority but im headed down towards the bottom of the handicap with Willie Mullins 8 year old French Gelding SA MAJESTE who looked to take a step in the right direction @Naas (25f Soft/Heavy) 29 days ago keeping on. This Son of TOP TRIP has a win here @Fairyhouse on his CV & wasn't running too bad in this race last year before a sloppy jump derailed him & just couldn't recover eventually pulling up. This French Charge arrives here 8lbs lighter when taking into account Jockey Aiden Kelly's 3lb Claim & arrives here with a 36.36% place strike rate the past month. Soft ground wouldn't bother this lad. You'd expect one of the big yards to land this race & as we've seen the past few days it can very easily be one of their well weighted 'Second String' runners that can (& have) upset the applecart. I'll throw my dart & see.

I'm not sure Barry Connell's French 9 year old Gelding HGRANCA DE THAIX looks a little overpriced here but in my humble opinion & some could make the argument that this Son of SADDLER MAKER is a better Chaser but you don't finish a length behind a horse like ZANOOSH if you're not talented which is exactly what this charge did on his penultimate @Navan in January finishing 2nd when keeping on over 20f. This French lad won a Novice listed handicap @Punchestown not too far back 5lbs higher keeping on when winning by 4 lengths. We can make the case that the drop back in trip last time look a little too sharp so this looks a good shout. There are a few holes that we could pick but at 18/1 this looks good enough value for a charge that is more than capable enough to bounce back. A chance can be taken.

Willie Mullins 5 year old French Mare SAINTE LUCIE has been in some very deep races prior to a much more positive run in the Martin Pipe @Cheltenham last month where this Daughter of GREAT PRETENDER can consider herself a little unfortunate as she just couldn't find a way through on numerous occasions as she raced towards the finish to eventually finishing 5¼ off the winner. This French Charge takes a drop in class as well as shedding 3lbs. Jockey Charlie O'Dwyer remains in the plate & sheds a very useful 5lbs. Should we have less drama here then you surely couldn't write this charge off.

This Daughter of WALK IN THE PARK won here @Fairyhouse (20f Heavy) in November beating the now 130 rated Zanoosh who's gone on to win 4 on the bounce. Yes this charge has failed to flatter in her past two runs over Fences & Hurdles @Punchestown over 23f BUT weakened around 2/3f on both those occasions so take drop back in trip certainly looks a big plus here. Jockey Ben Harvey who was in the cockpit for that maiden win is reinstated & arrives here in Fine fettle.

I've circled the drain long enough with this race so there is no doubt I've potentially passed over the winner but either ways I'm putting my faith in Peter Buchanan's 7 year old Mare SOLDIERSTOWN who looks a threat right at the bottom of the weights. This Daughter of SOLDIER OF FORTUNE won a P2P @Farmacaffley (Soft/Heavy) by 3 lengths then followed up with a win @Fairyhouse. This charge can be forgiven for finishing 4th & 5th Behind ZANOOSH but now entering Handicap Company with 5lb Claimer Micheal Kenneally taking the reins I wouldn't be surprised to see a big improvement. This is one id those 'She Wins or is left in the carpark scenarios' let's hope for the former. Good luck.

Difficult as to be expected in the big field barn burners here @the Curragh with plenty in with chances & one im happy to side with is Joe Murphy's 4 year old Filly LADY LILAC who I thought ran better than the bare result when last seen here in November where this Daughter of INNS OF COURT wasn't granted the clearest of runs but ran on strongly when the space opened up. This charge has been off the track since that run in the winter but previously finished 2nd when returning from a break. This Filly's penultimate was a 5½ length win @Killarney off a mark of 78 so I'd say there is still upside here. I don't think this charge can be totally written off the bottom of the weights & with a bit more luck in running can be bang there come the finish pole.

This Daughter of FAIRLY RANSOM was not without a chance in the dying embers in a race that was very stretched & I'm expecting a stronger pace this time (rather than lone pace) which could certainly help this Girl. Jockey Booking Patrick O'Brien is a positive with his 5lb claim & was in the winners enclosure here @Clonmel last week, This Lad also has a 40% place strike rate here the past year.

This Son of SHIROCCO's last run in this sphere on Boxing Day here @Limerick (a course he normally runs well at) will need to be forgiven as do the big length losses over the quicker obstacles so I can see why Trainer has opted to focus on the tall timber as this charge isn't getting any younger.

It looked like this charge ran out of steam earlier this month fading 4 from home so this drop back in trip looks a much better fit with the return of Jockey Michael Kenneally who sheds 5lbs bringing this lad below his last winning mark.

This son of TWILIGHT SON returned to action here at Navan (6f, soft) in October after a gargantuan 1,058 days away to finish 5th, keeping on. After such a mammoth break, that run warrants respect. He was 4 lengths behind today's rival Happy Henry, who is essentially 11 lbs heavier for that run if you factor in his claimer's weight allowance, whilst this charge is 5 lbs lighter, arriving here on a mark of 46.

This Son of SHIROCCO Missed all of 2024 & returned back to action last month finishing 4th & 5th (@Gowran park & Thurles) which isn't awful in hindsight considering the expected hoof rust. When last seen over Fences this lad has a 20/1 win in the Killarney National (3m 2f) on his CV aswell as a 33/1 win in listed Company @Leopardstown off marks of 130-136 & arrives here on 135 which is further boosted by the 5lb Claim of Jockey Michael Kenneally who is a lad going places in my humble opinion.

This Daughter of CALIFET 'Should' appreciate the return to a sharper track where all of her best efforts have come.

Phillip Rothwell has jocked off Claimer for pro rider Simon Torrens, this year's has another runner here with a chance (Robindevidastar) which could blow up in my face but I'm firmly in the camp of this younger charge who has the pedigree to be in the mix here further in trip.

The step up in trip should be a positive. As well as that pipe opener, hopefully shaking off any hoof rust. This charge drops 1lb & Jockey Adam Caffrey remains in the plate. Look we get the step up in trip, we have a pipe opener in the bank but still this could easily be one of those he either goes very close or ends up in the Carpark but at 18/1 I'm more than happy to take a swing.

A nice little meaty contest here @Dundalk & one in which I'm Siding with Denis Hogan's 6 year old Gelding VENETIAN who looks to have things lining up right for him. This Son of AWTAAD drops in class here for a respectable 1½ run keeping on here a week ago despite an uncharacteristic slow start. The step back up to this charges last winning trip (7f) is certainly a positive aswell as Top pilot Colin Keane who stays loyal. If the slow start was just a blip (which looking down his form lines suggests it was) then you'd be a braver man than I to totally write off this lad & whilst owner James McAauley is no longer training (owner now) you can never write off those plain orange silks here @Dundalk.

Patrick Cronin's 12 year old Mare LISSEN TO THE LADY Looks a real good shout here, this charge returned From a gargantuan 783-day break when last seen and, to be fair, didn't run too badly considering @Naas earlier in the month over the two-mile mark, finishing sixth of 17th. Prior to this was a 3½ length win here @Clonmel on heavy ground over 20f. This daughter of fame and glory now arrives here 3lb lighter for that run and to be fair I don't think you could totally write her off, especially with a pipe opener in the bank. Owner Joanna Walton (5lbs) remains in the cockpit & has overseen all of this old girls best form. Look the slot point buffer, this old girl, one bit, and course experience here is a huge plus & with 16/1 odds currently on offer I've got to have a punt each way.

The warning signs may be here already with this charge drifting in price but Ross O'Sullivan's 11 year old French Veteran Gelding FAVORI LOGIQUE surly can't be totally written off to atleast be in contention here after what would be deemed a fantastic run under the circumstances earlier this month when finishing 3rd @Leopardstown after a mammoth 573 day layoff. This Son of DENHAM RED was still plodding along come the end of that contest & the presumption (which means nothing in this sport haha!) that pipe opener should have shaken off the hoof rust. Top Jockey Danny Gilligan replaces a conditional jockey & has a decent record here @Limerick aswell as a very respectful place strike rate for this yard the past year (43%). Trainer Ross O'Sullivan arrives here with a 54.55% place strike rate the past fortnight. The drift is slightly concerning & I've a little niggle with the going but this lad does have place form on soft & anymore drying of the ground would be very welcome. Certainly worth an each way pop in my humble opinion.

What a interesting race in the opener here in County Kildare & one I'm going to side with is an fairly unexposed charge in the shape of Eddie & Patrick Harty's 3 year old Filly FONTAINE KHALED who makes her handicap debut. This Daughter of EARTHLIGHT (Has a 44% place strike rate on heavy - 25.93% place strike rate on Soft) takes a huge drop in class here from her last run. Jockey Jessica O'Gorman takes the reins & sheds a very useful 7lbs & has a very good 46.67% place strike rate (from 15 runs) for this yard the past year. This Yard Know how to get one ready with a 52.38% place strike rate with their runners returning from breaks. This Mare is Drawn well in #Stall 3. It's risky but I'm happy to tip my hat to a more unexposed type In double figures here.

Martin Brassil's 8 year old Gelding BUILT BY BALLYMORE has seemingly come from nowhere this term after taking a while for the penny to drop over fences. But put in a very good performance over 27f @Punchestown on the penultimate last month, finishing third 5½Then I feel he was very unfortunate last time out @Naas falling at the last & I truly do feel that he would have at least placed. Whilst today's contest is another fiercely competitive affair, this is a step down in class. Jockey Ricky Doyle returns to the cockpit, which to me is a positive. With this trainer-jockey combination looking very fruitful the past year, in fact you'd find yourself in profit if you'd have blindly backed all their runs together this last year. This Charge is running off the same mark today & if getting a clear run you'd have to give this charge a fighting chance.

Gordon Elliott's 7 year old Mare DISCO DANCER carries all the weight here & on evidence of her last handicap outing @Leopardstown (18f Soft) id say that's fair enough with this Daughter of SNOW SKY bang there at the 16f pole but faded 2 out. This Mare had some very good charges In behind her that day. This Mare gets a very good 5lb claimer on top in the shape of James Smith who arrives here in fine fettle & also has a good record here @Navan (37.50% place strike rate past 5 years). This charge wouldn't want the ground any deeper but with a clear day forecast I'm happy to play this at very good value 22/1 odds.

Thomas Coyle's 8 year old Gelding RIVER DERWENT is a talented charge there is no doubt but he has this tendency to be a little slow out of the stalls which is very frustrating because he still tends to run his race & make up ground which makes you think "if only he didn't miss the kick". This Son of KINGMAN has been creeping closer the past 3 runs here @Dundalk over the mile mark but does have 7f wins on his CV & arrives here 1lb under his last win. Jockey James Ryan Has won with this charge previously & ran a very good 4th ¼ on penultimate. I won't say it's not risky but this charge has been there or there abouts recently & at 22/1 I'm happy to play this each way.

Denis Hogan comes here mob-handed with four entries in this race but it is his 4 year old Gelding ALFRED TENNYSON that has me intrigued. This son of STARSPANGLEDBANNER has started to slide down the handicap and was Only three furlongs off the winner on penultimate over this trip and has dropped another 3lbs since That run was a deeper race than today's contest and he also had stablemate Dontspoilasale in behind. Jockey Keithen Kennedy returns from Australia and gets the leg up today and sheds a very useful 5 lb, which should certainly give him a punchers chance. The drop back intrip and class has got to be seen as positive and at big value odds of 28/1, I'm more than happy to toss a penny in the well and see how this one goes.

This is a very interesting card for the level & I'm going to take a punt with Gary McGill's 5 year old Gelding DIADUIT BUACHAILL who makes his Handicap debut here in Northern Ireland. This Son of JOSHUA TREE's penultimate run here in County Down was quite interesting where this charge finished 6th keeping on which is positive enough but it's the horses that finished ahead of him that warrant a second glance, 5th place DAMEAUSCOTTLESTOWN has won since before finishing 2nd ¾ behind COUSIN KATE at the DRF last month, 4th place won next time out & 2nd place KALYPSO'CHANCE went on to a grade 3 contest @Navan so plenty of big improvers ahead of him. Jockey Dara McGill takes the reins for his father & sheds a very useful 7lbs & has a 28.57% place strike rate here @Down Royal the past 5 years. At 20/1 returning back to the north on quicker ground again could see this lad in the mix come the dying embers of this contest.

Peter Fahey's lightly raced 8 year old Gelding MONROES HOLLOW ran his best race to date here @Down Royal (17f Yielding) on Boxing Day finishing 9 lengths off the winner keeping on which is a very good crack of the whip considering this Son of BEAT HOLLOW was returning from a big 211 day layoff. The step up in trip & pipe opener 'could' see this lad get in & amongst the minor prize money at decent odds. Jockey Conor Stone-Walsh takes over piloting duty jocking off a conditional jockey & has a 41.49% place strike rate here in County Down the past 5 years. Trainer arrives here with a 50% place strike rate the past month. The Cheekpieces certainly looked to aid this lad last time & and are retained. Certainly not a forlorn each way hope.

Another packed Field here in the lucky last @the Curragh with my vote going to Tom McCourt's 4 year old Gelding CAPTAIN CIANO who looks to have some potential upside here. This Son of INVINCIBLE ARMY ran very well @Dundalk (11f) last month coming off a big 303 day sabbatical to finish 4½ lengths off a winner who won next time out aswell as 2nd place horse with 3rd placed horse finishing 2nd which is very positive BUT it's this charges penultimate run @Gowran Park (9f Heavy) running through the muck where I thought this lad was a little unfortunate when hindered 1 from home but still plucked away to finish 2nd & arrives here 3lbs lighter. Tom McCourt arrives here with a 50% place strike rate the past fortnight & jockey James Ryan remains in the plate. This testing ground is certainly a stamina sapper so I'm looking for a charge that has ran further (in the muck) & can come take advantage if the pace collapses. 14/1 looks a decent each way chance with 6 places to hit.

A nice and easy barnburner to try to dissect with us entering Chuck a dart territory but I'm pinning my hopes to Kevin Coleman's 6 year old Grey Mare AKECHETA who returns to handicap company here after racing in some competitive listed events. I felt This Daughter of SIOUX NATION was a little unlucky @Doncaster in November when not getting a clear run & now gets a drop back in trip. This Charge had the handy FORT VEGA beat here last year when finishing 2nd over this trip on testing ground & also has a 1¾ distance 4th in this company on her Résumé. This is Trainers only entry here today & arrives on a 66.67% place strike rate the past month & has a top Jock in the saddle in the shape of Colin Keane. With this heavy going we could see some pace burnout with midfield/closers creeping in. There is enough here for me to play each way but let's make no mistake this is difficult (for all entries) but we've a top pilot in the cockpit who certainly knows how to read a race & look for those pouncing positions.Good luck.

After a Good discussion on the Discord Page (if you're not on there you're missing out on friendly daily golden nuggets of info) I'm going to tentatively nail my colours to the mast with Daisy Hitchins newly acquired 6 year old Gelding INTELLOTTO who should look to come on from his first run out 27 days ago after a break away. This Son of LOPE DE VEGA has some decent back form in Ireland for previous trainer Joseph O'Brien & has raced in deep deep waters with some big sharks; was only 9 lengths of KARGESE at the DRF in 2024 in Grade 1 company he then went on to beat one of today's rivals (Karl Des Tourelles) then went on to lock horns with SIR GINO. Trainer Arrives here with 3 wins (From 6) the past 30 days. Jockey Robbie David has a 60% Win strike rate the past month. We've seen some huge prices win & place so far this week. 66/1 odds for this charge dropping down in class.

Denis Hogan's 4 year old Gelding ALFRED TENNYSON looks an interesting sort here as he is tried on the shortest trip on this surface for the first time. This Son of STARSPANGLEDBANNER looked to make all the running here on Penultimate (over 6f) fading 1 furlong out to finish 3 lengths off the winner. The handicapper loosens the noose shedding 3lbs off. Trainer Denis Hogan has a 32% place strike rate when sending his horses straight back into battle (less than 7 day turnaround) which looks a plus as does the draw in stall #1. I can see why the yard are going down this route & at 18/1 odds I'm happy to play along to see if this front running lad can make all the running.

I was alerted to this by another fellow tipster & Good friend whilst talking about possible candidates for a big priced runner & this name popped up, I've let it sit & marinate for a few days & the more I look at other possibilities (of which there are many) I keep coming back to Noel Meade's 9 year old Gelding HELVIC DREAM with the words 'Plot job' circling constantly round my head. This Son of POWER hasn't been seen over hurdles since being demoted of 1st place in the Galway Hurdle for obstructing today's top weighted rival NDAAWI after this he was kept to runs on the level running well in a premier handicap @Leopardstown. I'd say he's pretty ground versatile with a 2nd in Listed handicap company last April on Yielding/Soft. Noel Meade has already picked up a winner this festival with his only other runner & in my humble opinion I think he's a great chance of making it 2/2 here at very good odds.
