Good quality NH performer, including when good fourth in BetMGM Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham; took the runner-up spot in a Ballinrobe maiden (1m5f, good to yielding) last time when 7l behind the winner; must carry top weight for Flat handicap debut but big chance.

J: Patrick M O’Brien

T: Henry De Bromhead

Fifth in two editions of the County Hurdle here before his second and third in the last two runnings of this race, which is quite something; has a 1lb higher mark than last year; well held in his only hurdle race this term but placed in Flat maidens either side, and has to be in place calculations.

Five-time winner over hurdles is rated 49lb inferior to Ballyadam in that discipline; belated Flat debut when well held in Bellewstown maiden last month (5.5l off Battling Ski); good bit to find.

Five-time winning hurdler hasn't been at his best for some time; 17l behind in seventh at Kilbeggan last time; drop into 0-100 company for the first time may spark a revival.

Dual winner and had every chance when taking a heavy late fall at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding) two runs ago; that was her second tumble on the trot and was perhaps thinking of those when below par a month ago; however, the ability is there to go close.
