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. |

It took him a while to get his head in front over hurdles but he hacked up in handicaps at Killarney (2m1f, yielding) and Tramore (2m, yielding) four days apart earlier this month; will need to progress again in this company but that's not impossible. |

Had a couple of decent runs in defeat in maiden hurdles in 2023; returned from a lengthy break when well behind at Galway (2m, good to yielding) but was a very easy victor of a Killarney handicap hurdle four days ago (2m1f, yielding); could have more to come carrying a 7lb penalty as long as this doesn't come too quickly. |

Verdict
It’s hard to get away from LITTLE MIXUP who bids for his fourth win in five starts and the form of his win 13 days ago was boosted to some extent last weekend. Future Proof is well handicapped and may be able to build on his placed effort when last seen while Rock On Seamie is respected given his decent record when fresh. [Phill Anderson]
