Only fourth in a claiming hurdle last time but has won two of those this summer and he's a three-time chase winner, albeit a while ago now; two years since he ran over fences but clearly in fair form at the minute. |

Was gaining his second win at Ballinrobe when narrowly landing 2m7f handicap under top weight 18 days ago under a positive ride (first two clear); 6lb rise but still on a decent mark (10lb below career-high) so respected although this marked drop in trip a concern. |

One of two runners for yard; point-to-point winner is 1-8 over hurdles; that win came over C&D in a maiden back in 2021; seemed to be a lost cause before bouncing back with a solid effort in a claiming hurdle at Roscommon last month; remains to be seen if he can back that up and needs more to win this. |

Maiden has been a regular participant in claimers over hurdles this year, placing twice; fair run in a Perth handicap last month but modest run at Clonmel last week; needs to find more on his chasing debut. |
