Colm White Bookmaker Beggar's End Handicap

First reserve; dual-winner over hurdles and on Flat for Gavin Cromwell; signed off for that stable with a good run at Killarney last time (14.5f, good) in a first-time visor (retained); 3lb higher now, not discounted.

Second reserve; showed similar form in a trio of maidens in which he placed; stepped up to 1m6f on heavy ground for his handicap debut at Listowel, where he bagged his first win; player if he gets a run but 3lb wrong.

Third reserve; dual-purpose sort who has two wins on the level, his last win coming in a Galway festival premier handicap in 2023 off 82 (1m4f, good to yielding); not far behind at the Curragh in June (16.5f, good) but well beaten over hurdles the last two times and 3lb wrong.

Triple Listed winner, including at Limerick and Newmarket (awarded race) in 2024; not discredited off hefty weights in Curragh premier handicaps in June before set tall task in a Group 2 there in July; lesser run in the Petingo latest (1m5f, good to yielding); mark remains high and blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Top-class bumper performer in 2022-23 season; first two Flat maiden runs this year were at the Curragh over 1m and 7f respectively; stepped up in trip in an amateur Leopardstown contest latest to comfortably win (1m7f, good); makes handicap debut but mark is possibly on the high side.
