J: Miss S E Leahy

A winner of six races (four over hurdles and two on the level); however, a Flat rating of just 40 leaves him with heaps to find on these unfavourable terms.

J: G B Noonan

T: W J O’Doherty

Dual-purpose; 4-33 over hurdles; last won at Killarney off 4lb lower last July (20.5f, yld-sft); good ground is fine but lacks a run and overall record when fresh suggests he'll come on for this run.

11st 4lb

J: Mr D M Russell

Opening two maiden hurdle runs were encouraging, notably clear C&D second in August (good); clipped heels when bit underwhelming in Kilbeggan bumper following month but demands respect back hurdling in an ordinary maiden.

Left moderate bumper and maiden form behind when second at Limerick (2m, soft), outpaced before keeping on well; on that evidence, this step up in trip can help; 5lb rise is perhaps harsh, but she's a player.

One of two for trainer; maiden has been consistent in handicaps; runner-up at Tramore off this mark in November (2m5f, soft); below that when a beaten favourite at Down Royal next time (2m4f, yielding), finishing a distant third; another good effort when fourth back there last time; maybe the cheekpieces can get a bit more from him.
