Form & Verdict
Point-to-point winner (yielding) made highly encouraging Rules debut when runner-up in Navan bumper in March (heavy) but didn't quite reproduce that form when fourth (third has won since) at Clonmel last month, fading final furlong; better ground may now suit and has to be respected.

Form & Verdict
Brother to the top-class Presenting Percy shaped nicely on debut when third in decent Naas maiden hurdle in February (yielding) but very disappointing in similar Fairyhouse contest last month, weakening tamely from two out after racing prominently; switches to bumper here and major player on debut run.

Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner in April; four moderate subsequent runs in that sphere before shaping much better in a novices' handicap chase at Perth (2m4f, good) three weeks ago, beaten 1.25l off 116; should have learnt plenty from that experience and not without a chance dropped back in trip once the rain stays away.

Lightly-raced 8yo came good on chase debut in 2m6f Tramore beginners' chase last month (good), jumping well; beaten favourite back hurdling four days later at Downpatrick but race may have come too soon; ground remains in his favour but stamina concerns on handicap debut.
