Has an uninspiring record and doesn't look well treated on his return to handicap company.

Sean Mc (G)
Winner at Wexford in April and shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 16 in handicap at Kilbeggan (25f, good to soft) last month, despite meeting plenty of trouble. Should remain competitive.

Illtakehimmyself (G)

Jet Away gelding who didn't pull up any trees in maidens but showed much improved from back under less testing conditions in a first-time tongue strap when second of 18 at Punchestown (3m) 17 days ago, closing all way to line. Drop back in…

Jay Pee M (G)
Fairly useful chaser who ran much better than on his latest outing in this sphere when fifth of 15 in handicap at Cork (19f, good to soft, 9/4) 20 days ago. Not dismissed from a 1 lb lower mark.

Much more like it when second of 10 on handicap debut over 2m at Wexford in March. On the retreat when falling at Tramore (2½m) subsequently, though. Tongue strap on for first time.

Jaadil (M)
Off the mark at Cork in October and unlucky to bump into an improver at Sligo (2¼m, good to soft) next time. Ran poorly at Cork on recent return but was said to have returned with mucus.

Mr Eastwood (G)

Remains with one standout effort, finishing well held in first-time blinkers on handicap debut at Limerick when last seen in November. Cheekpieces now the choice of headgear.

Long-standing maiden who ran creditably when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy) on most recent outing. Remans vulnerable from a win point of view, though.

Sekakarma (G)
Took a step back in the right direction returning from a 5-month break when fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Punchestown (2m, good to soft) 17 days ago. Back up in trip and his task is to now build on that run.

Placed twice in maidens for John McConnell but offered little in trio of handicaps for Peter Fahey. Probably needed the run upped markedly in trip in a first-time tongue strap starting out for new connections after 20 months off at Punches…
