Form & Verdict
Maiden has held his form well in handicaps this season; beaten a head off 1lb lower at Cork (1m4f, good) in July; fell when holding every chance in a Killarney maiden hurdle 11 days ago; claims back on the Flat, though may not want it too soft.

Flat winner has a kink in him, and has twice run out, but solid seconds last twice and there was good money for him last time when clear of the remainder at Sligo, beaten around 2l by 115-rated rival; ground suits and this is a good opportunity.

Not many positives to take from three maiden runs but she's from a good family and she could improve for softer ground on handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces; worth a market check.

Built on promise of first two handicap runs when making all and winning by 15l at Roscommon (1m4f, soft) in October; hiked up 14lb so will need to improve again to follow up but that's not impossible; can't be discounted if ready after break.

Ran a fine race on handicap debut at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld), shaping like this sort of trip might suit; never got involved at Gowran on latest at the same trip but now steps up in distance; pedigree suggests soft might suit; interesting.
