The best of these over hurdles with a mark of 147 but has yet to prove himself as effective over fences, as he was no match for Frankie John at Galway and then faded out disappointingly at Killarney, albeit in a good race; has to raise his game. |

11st 4lb |
Front-runner placed on five of 7 attempts hurdling, notably touched off in Gowran novice handicap and again twice in similar Fairyhouse contests, latest early this month; should make a bold bid back in maiden company on a track which suits his style of running. |

0-7; disappointing favourite at Tramore last time but has had a break since then and his previous seconds in 2m handicaps (in a tongue-tie) need respecting; each-way claims with tongue-tie back on. |

Has some eyecatching hurdle form this year and latest 6l fifth in a Listed handicap at Listowel was another sound effort; however, although a winner on the Flat, he hasn't been great this year. |

Second to subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown in July, and went one better over 2m1f at Killarney last month under a positive ride; soon beaten back on the Flat at Cork recently but remains of interest. |

Second to the subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown in July, so no surprise that he went one place better at Killarney last month; in between, seventh of 17 in a 1m4f handicap at Galway; this trip is probably a little short of his best |

Improved for a switch to course handicaps last season, a good third (18.5f, good) followed by 2l second of 11 (2m1f, good to yielding) in April; still had plenty to do when a faller four out on Cork return last month; unproven in the mud. |

Left all previous form behind when a 125-1 runner-up over 3m at Cork in April; confirmed promise when justifying favouritism in a 3m1f Tipperary maiden hurdle in May; encouraging handicap debut when close up in third at Killarney; similar effort at Galway; form of that race looks solid (second and fifth have wnn since), may confirm with Duke Silver. |
