Kilmac Air
Recent fourth here (6f) a step in the right direction but a lot more likely required here
18 2 F Poor Donnacha Aidan O'Brien 130 60 10/1
Open: 10/1
13

No show in maidens at 7f-7.5f, gelded, watch on handicap debut and seasonal return

Open: 40/1
14
Boston Max (IRE)
Big improvement when scoring (5f, AW; first-time tongue-tie) on handicap debut; key player
20 2 C Good Gordon Elliott 127 57 11/2
Open: 11/2

10 2 C Poor Miss Natalia Lupini 123 53 28/1
Open: 28/1
17

18 17 2 F Poor A Oliver 123 53 28/1

Best run over 6f in Dundalk maiden, no impact over 7f on h'cap debut, a bit to prove
