Circus Act
CIRCUS ACT finished fourth in this race last year and is weighted to go much closer this time around. She gets the vote, with Maxwell Smart a likely danger following a pipe-opener over hurdles, and Desert Friend another to consider on the back of a forgivable effort.

Back on track when third of 13 in a handicap at Gowran last time. Visor now refitted (1-1) as she bids to repeat last year's win in this race, though is much higher in the weights this time around.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGowran Park1m 5f 160ySoft (Yielding in places)Flat3/13Navan1m 6fHeavyFlat7/12Navan2m 50ySoft to Heavy (Soft in places)Hurdle5/7Galway1m 3f 180yHeavyFlat1/18Sligo2m 1f 112yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Hurdle1/13- 6(2)Maxwell SmartJ: Sadhbh TormeyT: T.

Took advantage of a much-reduced mark to snap a losing streak of almost 2 years at Dundalk (2m) in March and having found the quick turnaround against him back on turf at Bellewstown on latest start, he's worth another chance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBellewstown1m 3f 90ySoftFlat9/12Dundalk1m 4fStandardFlat3/12Dundalk2mStandardFlat1/10Dundalk1m 4fStandardFlat11/14Dundalk1m 4fStandardFlat9/14- 1(7)AutocratJ: J.

Veteran hasn't shown much in a pair of starts over jumps for new yard, though this previous C&D winner cannot be discounted if rediscovering his Flat form from last summer.
