107-rated hurdler won a maiden in that sphere last summer; ordinary enough Flat form and doubt dropping back from last two runs over 1m4f will be the answer.
AI verdict

SR 49 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

Won at two and three for Ballydoyle; won claimers here over 1m and 6f in February; coughing post-race when disappointing odds-on favourite in 7f claimer here in March; been given time to recover and looks a big player.

Favourable weight of 9-10 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Very likeable debut when a keeping-on fifth behind none other than Diamond Necklace in a 7f good-ground maiden at the Curragh last August and perhaps the soft ground found her out next time; brings potential into her second season; market useful.

Has been on the speed in two 6f runs on soft; second of 24 at the Curragh (RPR of 83) and no match for promising newcomer when second at Cork; speedy pedigree and shorter trip should be fine; big chance if he handles the surface.

Has only run on soft turf; first two runs were fine, including comeback third over 5f at Cork; 10-11 fav back there over 6f, was on the wrong side when bombed out completely in race where Cool Azul was second; that was too bad to be true; tongue-tie on now.
