T: Gordon Elliott

Flat winner is 1-11 over hurdles, having been successful in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle in March (2m, soft to heavy); good runner-up finish to the smart Switch From Diesel in a Punchestown novice hurdle in June was his best run since (2m1f, good); makes chasing debut now and his hurdles rating of 115 gives him a shout but his recent runs have been a bit below his best.

Form & Verdict
Well held in two bumpers and she beat a limited 250-1 chance by 2l in a C&D maiden; not sure that entitles her to a mark of 109, but she's a half-sister to the smart Fun Fun Fun, so could have more to offer.

Hooded for the first time when beating 12 rivals in a 2m6f maiden at Tramore (good) and got pestered up front when beaten 5l in a 2m2f novice here a month ago; should give his running and might not be far away back up in distance.

Got a 9lb hike for winning a Tramore maiden hurdle in May; well held in three novice hurdles since; 4lb wrong on his handicap debut and probably safe to look elsewhere.
