Form & Verdict
Began his career with a third placing behind the useful Intense Approach (the pair are now stablemates) in a maiden point early last year; won small-field bumpers at Musselburgh and Uttoxeter last season; unable to make a significant impact in a strong bumper at Fairyhouse in April; should make a fair hurdler, though the merit of his bumper wins is questionable.

Two bumper wins in Britain; mixed record over hurdles; made all for a wide-margin maiden win over 2m3f at Naas last November; disappointing in races at Carlisle and Uttoxeter; more like it when winning at Chepstow last month; tougher opposition now.

Lieutenant Mayne

11st 12lb

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: John C McConnell

Major player on the form of November's all-the-way Naas win (2m3f, good to yielding), but has folded sharply trying similar tactics twice since, proving no better for a three-month break latest; still no recourse to any headgear or aid, and caution necessarily advised for now.

Form & Verdict
Too keen and pulled up after making mistakes on hurdling debut at Limerick last season; ran respectably on the Flat at Tramore in August; not a bad effort when fourth in a recent maiden hurdle at Wexford; will probably need a handicap mark.

18-race maiden with a Flat background; the odd piece of form is worth noting and she has never been lower in the weights, but she's suffered four non-completions on the bounce (fell midrace on chase debut latest); a bit risky in the new hood (replacing tongue-tie).

Didn't show much in maidens and unseated after first on handicap debut at Down Royal in January; made late headway on his return to action at Navan (2m3f, yielding) last month when a distant fourth; can improve on that, but will need to.
