Odds of $17.00 and struggled with the pace when 4th last run at this venue. Should come to hand quickly. Very hard to have.

Competitive effort when 3rd last start at Lifford but down in trip. Have to respect the recent D S Davy form. Watch the betting.

Resuming after a break. Finished hard to win last run around here and ideal trip as proven previously. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Back to a shorter trip. Should go very close.

Was strong late when 3rd last start at this track in 16.63s and form has been improving over recent runs. This one has a big task.

At $2.88 looked outclassed when 5th last time at this venue. Capable of bouncing back. Worth a lot of thought in this race.
