AIRD (4) stepped forward on just her second start for Henry de Bromhead when placing at Down Royal (1m2 1/2f). Clearly operating from a realistic mark and further progress might be forthcoming. APERCU (1) finished a neck ahead of the main selection in latest. First-time cheekpieces go on and makes the shortlist. EXPOUND (5) followed up a 1m1 1/2f Ballinrobe maiden win with a third attempting shorter at Killarney. Holds sound claims from an unchanged mark. HOKUSAI (6) has been raised 8lb for a last start Leopardstown success. Might have more to offer tackling this trip.
