Bumper winner on debut for Sam Curling last year; didn't go on initially over hurdles for this yard but better this year, winning a Fairyhouse maiden and Killarney novice over this trip; is a leading player. |

Won his bumper here last May and the form of last month's maiden hurdle win at Fairyhouse has worked out well; penalised accordingly but he sets the standard. |

Won a 2m Kilbeggan maiden hurdle and bounced back from two lesser runs over further to take a Market Rasen novice over this trip; this is more competitive but has a chance. |

11st 7lb |
Progressive form over shorter, winning a maiden over an extended 2m at Kilbeggan (good to yielding); weakened over 2m4f next time and then ran poorly at 3m; strong form claims if he can prove himself over this far. |

Placed in first two maiden hurdles; off the mark at the third attempt here over 16.5f (gd-yld) in April; weakened after the third last when upped to 2m4f (gd-yld) in novice hurdle at Killarney 20 days ago; stamina query upped further in trip here. |

Runner-up in a Cork maiden hurdle last November but no sign of that form in three runs since; the tongue-tie will have to make a major difference. |

Best run in maidens came here over 2m (yielding) when a 5l second behind a now 130-rated rival; nowhere near that level twice since but could improve now switched to a handicap; market check advised. |

Promise in first two bumpers; soundly beaten in maiden hurdles, but can do better in this sphere; one of three for a yard that does well here, so watch the market. |

Mishaps twice since promising debut in Roscommon bumper in September, achieving highest RPR of any of these when second to a decent sort who went on to win twice over hurdles in Britain. |

Ran to a useful level when runner-up in a Roscommon bumper (good to yielding); surprisingly lengthy odds at 80-1 for his recent hurdle debut at Killarney where he was on the retreat when falling (in first-time hood); on that debut effort he commands respect. |
