Was hit hard by the handicapper for easily winning a restricted 9.5f maiden at Gowran on heavy in September; good run when fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown last month and seemed to stay well enough when third over 1m5f at Ballinrobe, getting going a bit late; longer straight here will suit and any rain a plus.

Won consecutive 1m4f handicaps in 2024 at Roscommon and Galway (off 70); came back from an absence when winning over hurdles at Bellewstown last summer and ran well in novice events both starts afterwards; returns from a further 9 months' absence but goes well fresh.

Some good efforts in soft-ground handicaps, including seasonal-debut second at Bellewstown (1m3f) when clear of third Obscenity; not at his best at Ballinrobe last time when behind a couple of these.

Lightly-raced 4yo was 0-5 in maidens last year but showed a fair amount of ability each time; trip/ground okay and worth considering on handicap debut.

Only Flat win came over this trip at Galway in 2023 but went close at Navan last month, every chance in a three-way photo when beaten a neck (1m5f, good-to-yielding); 3lb higher but has his chance again.

Won a Clonmel handicap over just short of 1m2f last autumn and encouraging comeback run at Gowran last month over slightly shorter when second; 4lb rise for that but remains of interest.

Won 1m2f Goodwood novice last year but safely held afterwards in handicaps for James Horton; bought for 5,000gns in December and two AW runs have been modest; seems best watched.

Four-time winner over shorter trips and only just denied over 2m at Thurles on final start last season; recent hurdle run should have put him straight and not one to rule out.

Chamber Verdict

Balanced lens

Pillar Of Hope

Speculative

Pillar Of Hope owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (58) and market confidence (45). There is still enough pricing upside to keep the pick from looking overexposed. The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.
