Won 2m1f Cork handicap hurdle last summer on good ground; produced a couple of decent placed efforts after that, including third behind today's rival Hickey's Hill at Thurles; lacks a recent run but ground should suit; on a mark that gives him a fair chance. |

Consistent hurdler who was in good form for the most part of last year, winning a 2m handicap at Wexford in October; there are successful chasers in the family. |

Wexford specialist with both of her wins coming there, the most recent of which was in May off 81 (2m1f, good); again ran well there last time when a 3.5l third (2m1f, good to yielding); remains 9lb above last win but she is in good form |

Second reserve; couldn't take advantage of a 7lb lower chase mark here last month when a close third of 12 (2m, good); returned to hurdles at Cork last time when a well beaten fifth (2m1f, good); she likes this track with both of her wins coming here so not discounted if getting a run. |
