TRM Calphormin - Strong Foundation, Strong Future Apprentice Handicap

First reserve; scored off reduced mark on seasonal return here in March last year (1m, yielding); returned from another lengthy absence when soundly beaten at the Curragh in August; hard to be confident in.

Second reserve; got her head back in front at Ayr in August over this trip on quick ground; backed that up with good second on AW off 10lb higher but faded quite tamely at Navan four days ago; bit to find.

Third reserve; made all (first-time visor) for breakthrough win at Ballinrobe in July, good bit to find on more recent form though.

Lightly raced 5yo won over this trip at Navan a year ago before close third at the Curragh; just three runs this term, pick being last month's comeback run at Down Royal when good third to an all-the-way winner on ground plenty quick enough; definite player.

Step in the right direction at Bellewstown recently (1m4f, soft); drop in trip could suit.
