Won twice over hurdles in Ireland last season (2m/2m5f); not quite at best in the summer when last seen but makes stable debut from a workable mark and with cheekpieces refitted; market may guide. |

Maiden has fair bit of placed form, including over C&D in the autumn and when second at Tramore in April; stays much farther; not great lately and vulnerable. |

Placed on five of 14 attempts hurdling including twice runner-up in 2m6f Tramore handicaps earlier this year; staying on when last flight faller in maiden here a fortnight ago; trip on the short side but can't be ruled out. |

Maiden's best form is on tight tracks such as Tramore and Killarney; 3m has looked beyond her the last twice so return to this trip should suit, although has a bit to find on ratings. |
