Off the mark fitted with cheekpieces at Galway in July and just about better than ever when third of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, soft, 22/1) 14 days ago. Another very bold bid incoming.

Maiden winner at Curragh in August. Not at that level in 3 starts since and hard to know her optimum trip (raced over 5f latest).

Galway winner on soft in September but found out off 9 lb higher at Bellewstown (1m, soft) since.
Timeform Verdict
JP'S EXPRESS ran a career best when third in a big-field handicap at the Curragh 2 weeks ago and a repeat of that should see him right on the premises again. San Aer and Earls are both on lengthy losing runs but lurk on a very dangerous mark as a result.

13/2 San Aer (Ire), 5/1 Jp's Express (Ire), 14/1 Earls (Ire), 25/1 Sylkie, 11/1 Flash Of Fire, 20/1 Lady Arwen, 22/1 Titanium (Fr), 499/1 The Rock Factor (Ire), 12/1 Lady Mary Heath (Ire), 12/1 Speckled Meadow (Ire), 9/1 Excuzio Joe (Ire), 14/1 Amplitude (Ire), 28/1 Flying Fortress, 50/1 Cash Me (Ire), 10/1 Aquilla Star (Ire)
