Has dived 19lb in just four months since arrival from Ireland; jumping frailties again all too evident at Taunton latest (2m3f, heavy). |

10st 7lb |
Won Clonmel handicap (2m4f, soft) just over a year ago but has looked out of sorts on all four hurdle/chase starts for new stable since the autumn, and it takes a leap of faith to support him here. |

Won Clonmel handicap (2m4f, soft) a year ago; well beaten over hurdles on seasonal/stable debut in October and pulled up in two subsequent chaes; may yet come good for Evan Williams but has a lot more to prove than some of these; tongue-tie added. |

Good ground winning chaser is 0-19 over hurdles; ran well off this mark at Clonmel (2m4f, heavy) in January when a 0.5l runner-up; brought down at the third at Tramore in a first-time tongue tie (discarded) last time; others preferred. |

Won Downpatrick beginners' chase for Gordon Elliott last May; off-putting 0-18 record over hurdles, mistake at the last proving costly when runner-up at Clonmel (2m4f, heavy), made respiratory noise when pulled up at Limerick last time; tongue-tie now tried. |

One win from 20 starts over hurdles; that win came over 2m4f at Punchestown on heavy ground in February last year off 78; good effort when third of 24 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day (2m4f, yielding) but way below that level at Navan; a little hard to trust. |

Belatedly off the mark last month in 3m1f Roscommon handicap chase (good) in first-time tongue-tie, her first attempt at the trip; has to be of interest back hurdling at the same distance, though tongue-tie left off today. |
