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. |

Finally got off the mark over hurdles at Downpatrick (2m2f) last May; tried chasing again last month but well below par in handicaps (up to 2m2f) at Wexford and Limerick; needs this return to hurdling to spark a resurgence. |

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. |
