Drawn in the best-performing trap at this grade by some distance, and carries more course-and-distance experience than anyone else in the field with seven runs at this exact combination. Form has been steady rather than spectacular lately — fifth two runs back sandwiched between more even efforts. The trap and track knowledge are her calling cards even if the raw performance figures sit below the very best in this field.

The fastest recorded time and speed rating of anyone in this field, and his historical course-and-distance form — five runs, two wins — is excellent on paper. The major catch is timing: his last recorded run was back in August of last year, meaning this looks to be a return from a long absence. That kind of layoff makes fitness and sharpness a genuine unknown regardless of how good the old form reads.

Lightly raced recently with only three runs on record, but the level has been solid — fourth last time out at this exact grade back in April, with two better efforts before that. Drawn in the weakest of the workable traps at this grade. Hard to know exactly where he stands, but the underlying figures are competitive with this field.

The weakest average performance figure in this field and desperately inconsistent — form of 59, 34, 32, 33, 100, 95 swings from brilliant to well beaten with no obvious pattern. No course-and-distance form at Limerick over this trip to lean on either. Capable of a big run on his day but far too unreliable to trust in this company.
