Three-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-4 over fences; that win came at Wexford (2m, good) off 7lb lower last August; out of depth in Listed hurdle latest but this more suitable and she goes well here; not out of this. |

Sole win over fences came in a 2m6f beginners' at this venue; mostly been hurdling recently but ran respectably on return to chasing in the Connacht National at Roscommon on his latest start; that 3m1f trip stretched him, this distance is more suitable; should go well. |
