BOYLE Sports 'Home Of The Early Payout' Handicap

Won Bellewstown maiden last year and decent second in Roscommon winners' contest, best efforts; encouraging comeback run in Madrid Handicap at Naas in late March, staying on late into fourth over inadequate 7f; step up in trip seems sure to suit and top-weight should go well.

AW maiden winner over 1m in early March and just fair efforts since in Naas handicaps, beaten around 5l in Madrid Handicap (7f) and stayed on late over 1m when beaten under 4l in premier handicap in late April; up another furlong in trip here and needs to improve for it.

Off the mark in 1m AW maiden in October on last of three juvenile outings; very promising seasonal return in 1m Naas premier handicap in late April, staying on well in closing stages when beaten 1l into fourth (Son Of Beauty 2.75l away fifth); big player given normal improvement and longer trip.

Rapid improver of late, twice runner-up on AW last autumn and has reappeared for back-to-back wins in 1m handicaps at Limerick and when running away late on under today's rider here last month; every chance of staying this extra furlong and could still have more to offer despite 16lb rise for two wins.

Breakthrough win at Cork (1m, soft) last month when coming late (beating a subsequent winner); didn't appear to stay 1m2f at Navan 13 days later, this intermediate trip could suit.
