Form & Verdict
Showed potential initially on the Flat; won a Limerick maiden on heavy (1m3f) but form has nosedived in three runs since; the cheekpieces worn on his latest below-par start at Listowel are removed for his hurdles debut; is in good hands but is best watched.

Won maiden Flat and hurdle race for Jessie Harrington in 2024; big run for this yard when keeping on well from the rear to give Gallivanted a fright at Goodwood (1m6f, good; 25-1) a fortnight ago; had to come down the outer that day and it's no guarantee his old adversary will confirm those placings.

Form & Verdict
Had four runs on the Flat for Andrew Balding, achieving a rating of 77; picked up by current yard for 105,000 gns at the July Sales; his half-brother has won twice over hurdles and he's an interesting recruit to this discipline; could be a danger if fit for his hurdling bow after a 111-day absence.

Showed some ability on sole Flat start last year; has accumulated plenty of experience over hurdles since then; placed four times and fourth in a competitive Punchestown handicap hurdle before readily landing the odds in a maiden at this venue late last month; good middle-distance Flat pedigree.

Flat recruit rated 82 in that sphere; clear promise in first two runs over hurdles, third at Ballinrobe (2m2f, good) and third at Listowel (2m, good); ran well in a maiden here on the Flat; yard is in form and his previous experience might give him the edge; leading claims

Flat recruit; 1-6 in that sphere, the win coming over 1m6f in a Navan handicap off 68; second off 75 at Listowel three weeks ago; has had one run over hurdles and he was beaten 12l into third; will need to better that to win this but he is in good form and he can't be discounted.

Decent dual-purpose sort finished second in last year's Fred Winter Hurdle at Cheltenham and two fine Flat runs on good ground in May, second at Killarney and decisive win in first-time cheekpieces over 1m6f at the Curragh off 78; 9lb higher and ground probably softer than ideal but yard in cracking form and can't be ruled out on return.

3 yo Gelding

OR:

Form & Verdict
0-4 on the Flat but has shown potential and awarded a rating of 79 in that sphere; hood worn last time when fourth of 16 at Navan is discarded and a tongue tie goes on for his hurdling debut; not an obvious candidate for this game on breeding but has ability and he could go well if he can jump.

Dual-purpose sort won 2m1f Punchestown maiden hurdle in June and has posted similar RPR's when second both starts since, in 2m1f novices at Bellewstown and Galway, each time forcing pace; jumping remains open to improvement as he enters handicaps.

Form & Verdict
One of two runners for yard; beaten 13l into fourth on his sole start on the Flat at Tramore (1mf, yielding); sixth of 13 on his hurdling debut at Ballinrobe (2m2f, good); didn't look the most natural of jumpers and may need more experience in this sphere; top yard but others make more appeal.
