Half-brother to winners Barford (7f/1m including 2yo/HK; RPR 89) and Liam's Lass (7f-8.6f including AW; 67); dam placed 1m (66), half-sister to US 8.5f Grade 3 winner No Explaining out of 1m1f winner; picked up for small money as a yearling but represents a shrewd operator. |

Improved from debut when beaten just 1l in a Fairyhouse claimer but low-key effort over 1m at Thurles last week; has a bit to find but yard's first-string at least. |

Met trouble in running on debut at Navan; stayed on well for third in a 7f claiming race at Fairyhouse; this trip should suit and he looks best of four runners for Joseph O'Brien. |

Only one place and 1.25l behind the fourth Tartaraghan when fifth on debut at Navan and considering he did not have the run of the race on that occasion (dwelt start and checked turing in), no surprise with the experience under his belt if he improves past her; definite shout. |

Showed a bit of potential as a 2yo but has lost her way this season for Anthony McCann; failed to beat a rival home when beaten 29l and 11.5l on her last two starts; hopes pinned on the returning visor sparking a revival; can only watch. |

Second reserve; belatedly off the mark at Navan in July but form has dipped since a claimer second in August. |

Turf winner is 0-4 on the AW; has failed to fire in handicaps (including over C&D) since second in a Sligo claimer in August; others make more appeal. |

Sole win came at Listowel last summer (off 40); comeback run there in late May should have him straighter but others look more likely. |

Record of 1-20 with the sole victory coming in this race last year on good ground off 7lb lower; consistent form on Flat over the autumn but his most recent maiden hurdle runs at huge odds were woeful; not discounted back on the level and his win came following a similar break. |

Lighly-raced after showing ability on second 2yo start in 2023; ran better than the result suggests over 1m2.5f at Down Royal last time; blinkers added. |
