Sole win over hurdles came at Downpatrick (2m7f) last year and went close to another success when just denied over a bit shorter there last time; up 3lb but this trip might be a bit sharp. |

Belated first win under rules in today's headgear combination in 2m7f Downpatrick handicap over a year ago (good) off 98; off for a year until well held over shorter trip over fences at Bangor last month; better for that comeback run and trip-ground to suit back hurdling. |

Unable to justify prominence in the betting when well beaten at Kelso (2m5f, good) this month and remains without a win since 2021; others have much more appealing profiles. |

Soundly beaten over 3m here this month and remains without a win since Irish maiden success in 2021; continues to slide down the weights and may benefit from this drop back in trip but still makes only limited appeal. |

Weak Tramore maiden hurdle winner in 2022 (2m, good); some reasonable efforts following that, particularly a nose second behind the decent Meetingofthewaters at Cork later that year (2m4f, yielding to soft); generally poor form since then but some of his best recent runs have been here, 6l fourth of 13 over C&D last time (behind Georgia Celena); others preferred. |
