J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Got off the mark in a 1m5f Down Royal handicap in July; looked held in second on hurdles debut at Killarney when left clear by a faller; she was still 16l ahead of a rival who was since beaten 10l by Danny Power at Listowel so is a big player on that form.

Easily won her seventh Flat start in a Down Royal handicap off 61 last time (1m5f, good); brings that positive form to hurdles now and should go well.

Form & Verdict
Flopped when 3-1 for seasonal/handicap debut at Sligo in May; it was probably soft ground, rather than this trip, which proved his undoing because (having been gelded and given a break) he ran much better over 1m3f at Killarney on Monday; looked slow but kept plugging away, and gets another change of headgear now.

A bit to prove if the ground was soft; runner-up over 1m5f here and, although behind Flagstone Lady next time (when fifth of 16), he's better off at the weights with her; could go well.

Form & Verdict
Showed ability in a Galway maiden last year when with Mick Mulvany; well backed into joint-favouritism for return at Fairyhouse, but didn't feature; off the bridle 3f out when okay fifth here over 10.5f (soft); had a wide trip from a bad draw when fourth over 1m3f at Naas and reckon he's on a good mark now; not bred to stay, but might.

Respectable effort when a 3.5l third of 15 on latest at Gowran (9.5f, gd-fm); has weakened late when tried over further so stamina to prove up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Twice made the frame in soft-ground 7f Gowran handicaps in the spring; finished well when fourth against older horses over 1m1f on fast ground at Leopardstown, but bombed over 1m3f at Naas last time; yet to string two good runs together and trip is a big question mark.
