25/1
Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner of maiden at Cork in May. 33/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) since. Needs to bounce back to the Cork form to have any chance of pushing Firebird.

Promising sort. Second on Ayr debut for Rebecca Menzies last autumn and looked a useful prospect when easily going one better in a 6f Cork maiden on recent return for a new stable. Can't oppose.

7/1
Lightly-raced C&D winner. Twelfth of 16 in handicap (33/1) at the Curragh (7f, good) 36 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Might be the one to chase home Firebird.

33/1
Thrice-raced maiden. 7 lengths third of 15 to Firebird in maiden at Cork (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 10 days ago, needing stiffer test.

Twice-raced maiden. Unseated rider soon after start in maiden (22/1) at Navan (5.8f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Well-held sixth on Cork debut prior to that.

14:20 Naas - 5 August 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

FIREBIRD bolted up in a Cork maiden starting out for the Twomey yard and should have way too much for this opposition, best of whom could be Jessica Harrington's Matter of Fact.
