10st 9lb |
Long standing, dual-purpose maiden; 0-23 over hurdles but has run well on multiple occasions, including here over 2m off this mark; out of his depth in a Grade 3 when falling on latest; this more suitable and while he is hard to win with, he has each-way claims. |

No show in four maidens but a better effort on return in a Sligo handicap (2m4f) with cheekpieces; is likely to have improved from that run and a tongue-tie is added up in trip; a player. |

Given a very positive ride by Carl Millar when winning on first start for new yard at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in June; given too much to do when respectable fourth at that venue last time from 6lb higher; he has won around here in the past and Millar is back aboard now; big player. |

Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when runner-up at Down Royal (2m1, soft, 7-2 fav') in final start for Gary McGill in January; unfancied and well beaten in two runs for new yard; may go well back in 0-100 company now. |

Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January off 3lb lower; weak in the market for Ayr run last time, weakening quickly to finish last of six finishers; in the mix at his best. |

Has won three times, including over C&D two years ago when trained by current handler, who has taken over once more after eight starts for Gary McGill; returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January and this Irish-trained challenger should be in the firing line. |

13yo veteran has won seven times over hurdles; mixing chasing and hurdling lately but hasn't looked like adding to his haul; however, he has won here before over shorter and he is 5lb below his last winning mark; not totally discounted but a revival is needed. |
