All three wins for Kieran Cotter came at Cork (6f-1m) and ended last term with solid C&D fourth behind Unique Journey; dropped out to finish last on seasonal return at Cork early this month, a run which should bring him on. |

All three wins have come at this venue, twice over 6f, the other coming at 1m; liking for the track is enough to make him worth considering on stable/seasonal debut. |

Seven-time Flat winner won a Leopardstown maiden hurdle in March 2023 (2m, good to yielding) but generally moderate form over hurdles since then; the same can be said of his recent outing on the level at Leopardstown last month. |

Dual winner on a sound surface when trained by Donnacha O'Brien; consistent enough in defeat since joining this yard, although tends to leave it too late before getting involved; drop back to 7f probably not ideal but handicapper's grip is softening. |

Won twice when with Donnacha O'Brien and was beaten a head in a C&D maiden for him; has met trouble in running more than once for this yard, including on latest at Galway (behind Monasterboice); may need more help from the handicapper but conditions should suit and he can't be discounted. |

Runner-up six times before belatedly opening account in this race last year off 79 (4lb out of handicap); some good runs afterwards in defeat, although well below best final start behind Tango Flare in Bold Lad over C&D; lacks a recent run this time around but Hayes stays loyal. |

Sole win came at Galway (7f, yielding to soft) in August 2023 when trained by Dermot Weld; struggled in his first three outings for this yard but shaped more encouragingly at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 88 days ago; had a wind operation two days later and now returns to AW. |

Ex-Irish 5yo; yet to add to his Galway maiden win in summer 2023 and has not threatened on any of three starts for new stable this year (7f-1m); still worth a glance in the betting, though. |
