Went up 6lb for breakthrough Flat win over C&D in May (yielding), beating subsequent winner Obscenity by 2 3/4l; moderate run in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown; down the field at Galway, well held by Thyer on that evidence.

Up 6lb for breakthrough Flat win at Roscommon in May (1m4f, yielding), beating subsequent winner Obscenity by 2.75l; soundly beaten in Punchestown maiden hurdle latest but has to be considered back on the level from low draw.

J: Mike O’Connor

T: Andrew McNamara

Sole win in eight Flat starts came last time out in 1m4f Roscommon handicap 19 days ago, staying on to beat subsequent winner Obscenity by 2.75l; had two prior hurdle runs at backend of last year and didn't show a huge aptitude but is in better form now and has been gelded; rated 80 on the Flat and could go well.

Some good efforts in soft-ground handicaps, including seasonal-debut second at Bellewstown (1m3f) when clear of third Obscenity; not at his best at Ballinrobe last time when behind a couple of these.

J: Jimmy Dalton

Half-brother to Group 1 winner Al Riffa not at same level, although mild promise last summer in Galway handicap and best effort yet on last month's return at Bellewstown when a clear second (third has won since) over just shy of 1m4f (soft), only worn down late; 6lb higher but respected, despite wide draw.

9/2
