SIS Supporting Irish Racing Handicap

Second in Listed race last spring and later won 5f maiden (good); beaten under 4l in 6f Group 3 next time; didn't get clearest of runs when seventh here (6f) on handicap debut last month; cracking second behind progressive type over C&D (soft) two weeks ago; contender.

AW winner is 1-7 on turf; showed some decent form in handicaps for Charlie Fellowes last year; eyecatching first run for Joseph O'Brien when beaten 2.5l into fourth of eight in Listed at Cork (6f, good) six days ago; could be well treated off current mark.

C&D winner; best over this trip but prefers testing conditions; got a run on the inside when winning at Navan (5f, yielding) off 80 in October; never a factor over C&D when last seen 160-days ago; others preferred.

Got up close home to win C&D handicap (good to firm) under this rider off 81 in August; never a factor after a tardy start in valuable York handicap 11 days later; tailed off here (6f) last September; Ben Coen ditches Emerald Harmony for the ride; player.

2-12 with both wins over this trip, including at Bellewstown (good) seven days ago when narrowly denying Cuban Grey; 4lb higher now but leading 7lb claimer takes over from Ben Coen; on the shortlist.
