Listowel maiden hurdle winner last autumn and some solid efforts in decent company since; however, is held by several of these on that form and looks a place prospect at best.

Ran to a similar level when third in a pair of bumpers at Navan and Fairyhouse in December and January; probably doesn't need to improve to be in the mix here although a tongue-tie is tried.

Still searching for a first win but had some good bumper form early on and hasn't done a lot wrong over hurdles; went close in 2m7f maiden in April and solid third over 3m at Wexford when favourite for handicap debut; should be thereabouts with 7lb claimer back on.

Maiden showed plenty of promise in bumpers and has run some fine races over hurdles, the best of which when a close second over 2m7f at Cork; not as good over 2m4f last time but the step back up in trip can help on handicap debut; chance.

Seventh foal; half-brother to winners Jimmy Breekie (bumper/useful 2m and 2m4f hurdle), Benny The Duke (2m2f hurdle), Highland Penny (2m4f/2m5f hurdle) and Charlie Breekie (point); dam unraced; plenty of good winners in his pedigree; tongue-tied for his debut and worth a market check.
