Form & Verdict
Some of his bumper form makes for very good reading, making the frame behind smart types Affordale Fury and Firm Footings last year; below par in two of his last three races in that scene, though conditions were perhaps too fast last time at Kilbeggan; needs respecting.

Won off 8lb lower at Roscommon (16.5f, yld-sft) in June; ran two respectable races at the Galway festival, third of 20 in a handicap hurdle, then fifth of 18 in a 22.5f handicap chase; may be in handicapper's grip for now.

Form & Verdict
Half-sister to smart hurdler Icare Allen; looked unlucky not to win her sole start in France (1m5f bumper) and that form was later franked; went off favourite for the Grade 2 for mares at Aintree and, given her inexperience, ran okay to be fifth of 20 (travelled well before weakening); a hood is soon turned to but she's unquestionably promising.

Only win in 12 hurdle starts was a maiden; likes to crack on with things and probably went off a bit too hot when a well-held fourth at Cartmel (2m1f; after 99 days off); has another front-runner to deal with in Hello Sweety, but the ability is there to win off this mark.
