66-1 and ran his best race for some time with a very respectable effort in a competitive handicap hurdle at Galway last week; capable of better again and Daniel King booked. |

Useful on the Flat for Joseph O'Brien; modest hurdles form apart from a shock win at Ballinrobe in May 2024; jockey booking catches the eye but not much else. |

Point-to-point winner's best maiden hurdle run came when beat 3.5l into fifth at Thurles in March (heavy ground); ran a nice race on handicap hurdle debut when fourth at Ballinrobe off 102; went close back in maiden company at Sligo over 2m2f on good ground last time out; not discounted back in a handicap. |

Capable hurdler with a mark of 119 but finished a remote third on her switch to fences at Tramore (1m7f, good); the cheekpieces tried there are removed; bit to prove on the back of that effort. |

Bagged back-to-back mares' handicap hurdles in January/March at Down Royal and Leopardstown at 2m1f/2m3f on soft ground; form has dipped in three runs since, including when beaten 18.5l at Galway last time (2m1f, good); cheekpieces return and the tongue tie is new; one of the top rated over hurdles for this chasing bow but needs to bring her best. |

C&D winner on this card two years ago but disqualified due to a positive test; second career win came at Naas in April 2025; back to form on second start for this yard at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good) in July but profile suggests he's not the type to back it up from 9lb higher. |
