without cheekpieces this time, had been shaping up well for most of the autumn and proved better than ever on his return from 4 months off, doing well given his passage through was hardly an ideal one; held up, travelled fluently, going well when had to wait for gap 2f out, had to pick way through approaching final 1f, led final 1f, edged right, kept on well; needs luck given running style but should remain competitive from higher marks.

INDEPENDENT EXPERT (IRE) whose yard have done well with similar recruits, offered something to work on on first outing since leaving A. Slattery and 5 months off; mid-division, took keen hold, headway over 2f out, left behind final 1f. FLYING FINN (IRE) shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off; raced far side, prominent, progress over 2f out, every chance approaching final 1f, weakened. TAKE HEART (IRE) had shaped as if needing the run in this 12 months ago and it was a similar story this time around, this probably a barely adequate test for him nowadays, too; mid-division, switched before halfway, outpaced 2f out, plugged on, found the test inadequate. NO MORE PORTER (IRE) wasn't disgraced back on turf after 3 months off; raced far side, waited with, smooth headway over 3f out, had to wait for gap around 2f out, shaken up before final 1f, one paced. EPHESUS (IRE) who had been in form over jumps, was unsuited by the marked drop in trip; soon led, took keen hold, headed over 2f out, one paced. SAN AER (IRE) who had shaped as if amiss on his most recent start over jumps, was below form back on the level; raced far side, in touch, every chance 2f out, lost place over 1f out. FRATAS (IRE) probably needed the run after 8 months off; handy, headway halfway, lost place over 2f out, weakening when hampered soon after, plugged on. BILL SILVERS who had run poorly on his sole start over hurdles, was never a threat returning from 12 weeks off; raced off the pace, steady progress around halfway, never better than mid-field. CASANOVA fourth in this last year, wasn't really seen to best effect after 4 months off; raced off the pace, headway when not clear run over 2f out, carried head bit awkwardly, never better than mid-field. EARLS (IRE) who has been given a chance by the handicapper, looked rusty after 5 months off; dwelt, in rear, merely closed up late. THUNDER ROAR failed to come on for recent run; mid-division, switched around halfway, in touch over 2f out, left behind approaching final 1f. RAADOBARG (IRE) had a good record in this (won it in 2022), but got loose beforehand and was below form on first outing since leaving George Boughey and 6 months off; handy, pushed along over 2f out, lost place soon after. WESTON (GER) ran poorly in first-time tongue strap; slowly into stride, raced far side, raced off the pace, never a threat. PROLEEK PRINCE (IRE) again ran poorly; raced far side, tracked pace, beaten over 2f out. FLEETFOOT (IRE) who had run well over jumps when last seen, was below form after 8 weeks off; raced wide, mid-division, struggling soon after halfway. TITANIUM (FR) who had run poorly over jumps when last seen, went with no encouragement after 9 weeks off; mid-field, headway halfway, led briefly 3f out, soon beaten. CHEERS AGAIN back in headgear, went backwards from reappearance; mid-field, left behind 2f out. MONASTERBOICE (IRE) was below form after 5 months off; in touch, ridden when hung right over 2f out, weakened. RHYTHM KING (IRE) might have needed the run after 4 months off; in touch, lost place 3f out. SOARING MONARCH (IRE) offered little on first outing since leaving A. McIntyre after 5 months off; handy, lost place 3f out, eased off. CATCH THE PADDY (IRE) was too free back on turf; raced far side, mid-division, pulled hard, dropped away 2f out, heavily eased off.
