7/2

Placed in 4 of 6 career starts, including two narrow runner-up finishes at Dundalk in December. Finished fifth of 15 in a handicap at Naas (18/1) 23 days ago, shaping as if needing the run after four months off. Should be sharper with that under his belt.

PIERRE ROYAL shaped with considerable promise when a keeping-on second over C&D two weeks ago and can go one better with that experience under his belt. Bishopton has been knocking on the door with two narrow defeats at Dundalk and should strip fitter for his comeback run. Limbocall is an interesting newcomer
