Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Chase

That latest effort at Downpatrick 17 days ago had the look of a fitness outing and he is expected to improve; handles today's going, effective at 2–2½m, and rates a genuine threat despite being winless in his last five starts. First-time tongue-tie.

Showed decent prior form but raced too freely at Roscommon 22 days ago and was well held; handles today's going and distance, with a win to his name in recent starts, though inconsistency makes him hard to support here. First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces.

Unseated at Punchestown 24 days ago after a promising run of form that suggested the mark could still be workable; effective at 2½–3m and handles today's going, but the mishap last time raises a question over confidence and he has yet to score in recent starts.

Back after 50 days following an abortive run at Killarney where he pressed on too freely; handles today's going and effective at 2½–3m, though the handicapper appears in control of his mark and he is yet to score in recent starts. First-time tongue-tie.

Well held at Kilbeggan over hurdles 15 days ago but clearly a better performer in the chasing sphere; effective at 3m on today's going and a consistent competitor over fences, he rates a fair midfield chance despite being winless in his last five starts. First-time cheekpieces.
