Dual winner over hurdles; not beaten far when stepped up to this trip in a handicap hurdle here last month; worth another try but others make more appeal |

Both hurdle wins have been at around 2m on soft ground; tame enough Listowel effort last month at similar trip, now takes a marked step up in distance and others look more likely. |

11st 12lb |
Dual bumper winner in France; has contested some good races since joining Willie Mullins with his best effort a sixth to King Of Kingsfield in a Leopardstown maiden at Christmas; last time was disappointing but the ability is there to play a leading role. |

Third career win came on final start last season in 1m Listowel Listed in testing conditions under a positive ride (just a day after being well beaten in a handicap); failed to beat a single rival home in 1m4f Curragh Listed on return; balance of form is over shorter than this so others preferred. |

Off the mark at the eighth attempt over fences over this C&D 17 days ago, beating Lady Doyanne by 2.25l; 6lb higher now but some of that is negated by his rider's claim; should be on the premises again. |

Off the mark at 28th attempt when landing 2m3f Kilbeggan handicap last month, allowed to slip the field and win unchallenged; no such leeway at Galway since, weakening between final two flights; third over C&D last month, so trip of no concern. |

Off the mark at 28th attempt when landing 2m3f Kilbeggan handicap last month, allowed to slip the field and win unchallenged; 9lb rise okay on the face of it, but not sure if he'll back that up and 3lb out of handicap here. |

0-27 and his run at Sligo last time was the first time he has ever placed when taking a 3l third (2m5f, good); 1lb rise seems a bit harsh; needs more. |

Beaten an average of 15l in her three outings; best effort was when 13l fifth of 15 in a bumper at Kilbeggan on her debut; struggled in a Galway festival bumper and made little impact in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe. |

9yo has won three of his last five; career best when winning easily at Limerick (3m, yielding to soft) on latest; 9lb higher here in a stronger race so he'll need to improve again but that's not impossible; due to go up another 1lb; not discounted. |
