Verdict

Veteran REBEL GOLD is clearly in fine heart and can confirm recent form with Piccolo Player. Global Skies could be worth another chance off this sort of mark, given his Flat exploits.

1	Useful handicap chaser (rated significantly lower over hurdles) has showed plenty of appetite remains despite his veteran status, ridden prominently when third in a soundly-run handicap at Naas last time. Remains one to be interested in dropped in grade. 1st Pick 1 Rebel Gold (Ire) Jockey: Mr Alan O'sullivan Trainer: Patrick T. Foley, Ireland J: Mr Alan O'sullivan T: Patrick T.

3	Confirmed his return to form when fifth (behind Rebel Gold) at Naas last time but has far fewer miles on the clock and may get closer on slightly better terms. 2nd Pick 3 Piccolo Player (Ire) Jockey: M. J. Kenneally Trainer: John Patrick Ryan, Ireland J: M. J. Kenneally T: John Patrick Ryan, Ireland	98	-	-	-	23%
Analysis Confirmed his return to form when fifth (behind Rebel Gold) at Naas last time but has far fewer miles on the clock and may get closer on slightly better terms.
10	Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m) and shaped better than the beaten distance in testing conditions (possibly unsuited) on handicap hurdle bow at Clonmel. Remains with potential as a hurdler. 3rd Pick 10 Global Skies Jockey: Danny Gilligan Trainer: Ross O'sullivan, Ireland J: Danny Gilligan T: Ross O'sullivan, Ireland	74	-	-	-	7%
