Dual Flat winner returns to this sphere for the first time since a midfield finish at Laytown in September (7f); must bounce back from a moderate run over fences at Wexford last time.

Useful hurdler won a valuable prize at Galway last year; ran well at Fairyhouse on the first of two chase starts last autumn; returned from a break to win in good style at Limerick; leading chance despite 8lb rise.

Useful hurdler won a valuable prize at Galway last year; ran well at Fairyhouse on the first of two chase starts last autumn; one to consider on return and the market can guide as to readiness.

Form & Verdict
0-11 on the Flat; showed a bit of promise for Andre Fabre but not much encouragement to take from six starts for his current yard; brought down on latest at Sligo and probably best watched on hurdling debut.

25-race maiden; one of his better efforts when fourth of 14 at Down Royal last month; needs to prove himself on slower ground.

Form & Verdict
Flat recruit; 1-4 on the level and rated 88 in that sphere, the win coming by 7l in a good ground maiden here over 1m6f early last month (the 152 rated hurdler Winter Fog was runner up); top yard and could be tough to beat if taking to this discipline.

One of seven for yard; won the Ebor Trial here in June (1m6f, good) off 87; raised 8lb and came up short in the Ebor at York on latest; handicapper might just have him where he wants him for now.

J: Tom Marquand

Unraced on firmer than good; wore cheekpieces on last three starts; won a 1m6f maiden at Gowran Park last September, two hurdle races last jumps season (including a 2m4f Grade 2 novice in April) and 1m6f handicap at the Curragh this June; well beaten in two major handicap hurdles, including at Galway three weeks ago, but he's on an upward curve with those other results.

Won a 1m6f Gowran maiden by 7l last September and scored again in a 1m6f handicap at the Curragh in June; hurdling in between, won a 2m4f Grade 2 Novice at Fairyhouse in April; might prefer further, but a strong-run 2m could suit.
