3m Listed novice hurdle winner last season (heavy) and best run in that sphere was his staying-on fourth in Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown (2m6f, yielding) last February; hasn't hit same form heights over fences, most recently 19l fourth of 25 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (2m5f), but he's on a good mark on his hurdle form and the step up in trip could be ideal. |

Won mares hurdle at Kilbeggan last summer and has been quite highly tried since, notably good second in a 3m Cork Listed; didn't jump well and never landed a blow in Grade 2 mares' novice at Thurles on latest and is now fitted with a tongue tie; again plenty on her plate here. |

Maiden winner on good ground at Kilbeggan in June; not a bad run when fourth at Roscommon in July; jumped badly when highly tried in a Grade 3 event at Tipperary; better when second over 3m at Cork eight weeks ago; faces a stiff task against younger mares here. |
