0-12 over hurdles but has run well in defeat; beaten 7.5l into fourth of 12 off 88 over 2m3f here on penultimate and is now 3lb lower; 3m may have stretched him last time; leading chance dropped back in trip. |

Two wins have been over shorter; on the retreat when a faller two out over this trip in Down Royal contest won by Topgun Simmy on latest, second run after a long absence; needs to improve and stamina still unproven. |

One of two for yard; gained second win over hurdles when scoring off 120 in a handicap at Tipperary in July (20.5f, yielding); pulled up in first run since at Fairyhouse on testing ground last month after a 291 day absence; may have needed that and the return to a sounder surface is a plus; this trip should be fine; chance. |

Good run in a Killarney maiden hurdle a year ago; not seen since a disappointing favourite in a Limerick maiden hurdle in December; Mark Walsh rides but no guarantee that he is the best of the owner's two runners; respected though. |

Finally off the mark at 19th attempt over hurdles when landing 3m Punchestown handicap a fortnight ago (good), making all in beating Ballinaboola Gold 1.5l (pair clear); 6lb rise for that and meets that rival on 3lb worse terms. |

0-14 on Flat but placed eight times, including when second in a five-runner 1m3f maiden at this venue last September; absent since an unplaced run over hurdles last November; fair chance at these weights if ready after a break. |

Back-to-back wins over similar trips to this last September and on good or yielding ground that he's not had in his last four races; however, current wellbeing is an issue and so too the blinkers in which he was tailed off last time when first fitted. |

10st 11lb |
1-4 over fences and rated 135; she is the class horse in the field but she has fallen on her last two starts so she comes with risks attached; the one to beat if she puts in a clear round of jumping. |

Hurdle winner was placed in Grade 3 company in that sphere; got off the mark over fences on second try when winning at Kilbeggan last year; tailed off when fell on return at Fairyhouse; questions to answer in this company. |
7/2 |
Verdict
With the ground likely to be very testing, it may be worth taking a chance on PIRATE ISLAND who ran with plenty of credit when third in a heavy ground bumper on debut and he should progress from that. The progressive Monsieur Azul is an obvious danger and any support for wide margin point winner, Look To The West is worth noting. [Phill Anderson]
