BOYLE Sports Best Odds From 8am Handicap

Best run last year when second in valuable C&D handicap (good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces off 90; form regressed afterwards but encouraging seasonal return (well-backed) at Naas last month over 1m; down in grade here off a fair mark so one to consider.

Won 7f Tipperary maiden on debut a year ago; hasn't won since in seven starts although best effort here last month when close third over 1m2f; 2lb higher and wide draw a negative.

Nicely progressive filly won AW maiden in January and has returned with good efforts in cheekpieces in 1m2f handicaps here, most recently asserting well inside final furlong for head win; 4lb rise okay, needs to find more.

Five turf wins, most recently here over 1m2f last October off 70; yet to hit form this season however and remains opposable.

Seven Flat wins include over C&D, and more recently on the AW in December; trip inadequate on seasonal return here in April and has since been pulled up over hurdles; champion jockey booked but veteran appears vulnerable.
