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 |

Was a 28-1 shot on debut at Killarney but he belied those odds with a fine run in second, beaten just 2.25l; should be thereabouts again with a repeat of that; obvious chance. |

Renaissance Man gelding was unsold as a 3yo; second foal; dam unraced sister to useful 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Dursey Sound; not a lot of appeal on paper and probably best watched on debut. |

December's Doncaster second (3m, good to soft) suggested a sound future as a stayer, so it's disappointing he has not always seen out mostly shorter trips since, beaten 26l over almost 2m5f latest. |

Just 1-8 over hurdles but returned to form with pretty good third at Fakenham (2m7f, good) last month and didn't run badly in competitive 2m4f race there a fortnight ago; can make his presence felt. |

Maiden gelding by Frankel; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his three Flat runs this term, the latest when sixth over C&D (4-1 fav), where today's rider was banned for stopping riding late on (4.5l behind Lariat); others more appealing. |

Had useful maiden form at three for Noel Meade and landed maiden hurdle last summer; hit form for this yard when close third over 1m4f at Limerick, and kept on steadily when beaten 4l over extended 1m3f at Killarney; waited with lately, so wide draw won't matter much. |

Limerick maiden winner; his fortunes changed this year when winning at Bellewstown (20.5f, good to yielding; Avalo second); failed to back it up next time at Listowel off 5lb higher but Jack Kennedy is an eye-catching booking. |

Limerick maiden winner and third in the Lartigue here last year; couple of mishaps at Killarney this year and disappointed in a three-miler at Galway, but his fortunes changed when winning over 2m4f at Bellewstown with two of these behind; stamina won it for him that day; 5lb higher now. |

Sole success came over 2m1f at Limerick in May last year; looked like he might add to his tally when unseating two out at Killarney in May (20.5f, gd-yld) and 2lb lower now; 2m7f-3m perhaps too far the last twice, could rebound back in trip. |

Displayed ability in Ireland last spring and this very lightly raced 5yo is one to watch in the betting; however, he was tailed off at big odds last month in his first two handicaps. |

Showed ability for Gordon Elliott, finishing third on Cork debut (2m maiden, soft; 14-1); remote fourth on first start for this trainer at Uttoxeter last September; still early days but this represents a tough handicap debut off a 174-day absence. |

Off the mark over C&D on seasonal return here in May (good); up 5lb in the ratings, while his 5lb claimer has also been replaced; nonetheless, he took a couple of bumps in the course of his win and may improve for that first run back too; big player. |

One of three for yard; 0-6 and yet to trouble the judge; poor effort latest but he didn't run badly here over 22.5f (gd-yld) on his handicap debut on penultimate, making late gains and shaping like 3m might suit; may outrun odds if handles easier ground. |
