Form & Verdict

Has progressed this term, getting off the mark at Down Royal in June before a big run when runner-up in a novice hurdle at Roscommon in July; the winner has boosted that form and has the ground in his favour here; not to be underestimated despite five-month absence.

Form & Verdict

Off the mark in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick in May but hasn't gone on from that since; new yard and career best required; back down in trip.

Form & Verdict

Promise in maiden hurdles last term and it was a solid return to action when fifth of 23 in a handicap hurdle at Navan last month; yard's runners often come on for a reappearance run and the return to a longer trip ought to suit.
