3-36 and two of those wins were over hurdles; however, made up a lot of ground to be third of 16 in a 2m Flat handicap at Navan 19 days ago and that entitles him to a place on the shortlist.

Best form this year has been over hurdles at Tramore; only Flat win was in 2023, and he needs to improve on recent efforts; strong trainer/rider combination.

Third reserve; stablemate of Let Him B; well handicapped judged on last week's hurdle win at Clonmel; could be much too good for these rivals if getting a run.

Shed his maiden tag at Wexford in May when winning a 3m handicap hurdle off 87 (good to yielding); way below that level on his handicap chase bow at Killarney (2m7f, good to yielding) last time when tailed off; stable has hit form in the meantime and blinkers go on so he might be worth another go as he had run with credit in his two beginners'.

Not the easiest to win with, as her 2-31 record over hurdles illustrates, but both wins have been over this C&D, including off this mark last summer; penultimate Wexford third was a good effort, 3m2f may have been too far last time; place claims back at optimum trip.

Ran one of her best races on stable debut/second handicap start back from a break at Cork (2m4f, good) when keeping on steadily for fourth; always in rear when pulled up at Kilbeggan last time; tongue tie goes on after that disappointment and not ruled out if it has a positive effect.
