Hurdle winner is a Flat maiden but has been largely consistent in defeat this term; a cracking run last time in the Apprentice Derby at the Curragh and should go well with a repeat. |

Fair Flat racer when based in Ireland and a dual winner against own age-group over hurdles for new stable this autumn (2m1f/2m); last month's Grade 2 defeat is easily excused and it will be interesting to see how he fares over this longer trip and against older horses on his handicap debut. |

Started the season well with a third placing over 1m2f at Navan; next two races were at 1m4f and she failed to produce her best form; went very close over 1m1f at Leopardstown last time; extra furlong should suit, strong contender |

Off the mark at the third attempt in an ordinary Sligo maiden over 13.5f in mid-May; weakened late on and hung right in his first handicap at Fairyhouse (1m4f, good) and similar story when beaten 21l at the Curragh last time out; easy ground would be a worry; hard to fancy for now. |

Lightly raced 3yo, who won a Dundalk maiden (1m, AW) in March but he's not gone on from that and was only ninth of 11 on stable debut at Kempton (18-1) in August; gelded since but he has something to prove now switched to Tapeta after another break. |
