Placed on both bumpers; took well to hurdling in the first half of this season; backed up debut Kilbeggan maiden win by landing 2m2f Downpatrick novice handicap in October; stayed this trip effectively when beating stablemate Tareze at Punchestown; might prefer better ground. |

Fair form when runner-up in two Irish maiden hurdles for Henry de Bromhead in September but did not look straightforward when pulled up on both starts for new stable this year; may yet get her career back on track but looks very risky at present; tongue-tie added today. |

Handicap debutant has shown promise in all three of his maiden hurdles at 2m-2m3f; ran respectably here in a 16.5f bumper a year ago; opening mark looks fair and he is worth a market check on return from 263 days off. |

Has shown his best form at Clonmel but was pulled up there last month (2m1f, good); on the retreat when falling at the last at Ballinrobe last time (2m2f, good); blinkers go on now but recent form just moderate and this comes quick enough after his fall. |

Hurdles winner made a positive seasonal return at Listowel in May when second (2m5f, good to yielding) and that run set him up nicely to win his chasing debut at Wexford in a novice contest (2m4f, good), jumping soundly to repel Costacurta by 2.5l; turnaround at the weights with that rival should bring them closer. |

Justified strong market support when scoring by 12l on debut for this yard at Bellewstown (2m5f, good) in July; has struggled off 16lb higher mark in three runs since; may need some help from the handicapper. |

10st 11lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo; didn't get home after racing too freely over 3m on stable debut in June but was evidently well suited by drop to about 2m2f (if additional yardage is included) when scoring at Market Rasen (good) last month; could easily have more to offer for new yard; must be considered. |

0-18 under rules but he was an easy winner of an Irish point in May; well held back over regulation fences at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last month but he took a strong hold and ran well to a point in that race; could benefit from this drop back in trip and it wouldn't be a surprise if he was in the mix. |
