Form & Verdict

Battle Of Marengo gelding is a first foal; dam useful bumper/Group-placed 1m4f and 1m6f Flat winner (RPR 99), half-sister to 7f-1m winner Good Time Sue out of half-sister to 1m-2m Flat/2m-2m4f hurdle winner Tagula Blue and fairly useful 1m-9.4f winner Dane Blue; nice pedigree and worth a market check on belated debut in a weak race.

Form & Verdict

0-3 in point-to-points, failing to complete twice; hasn't looked like winner in waiting in a trio of bumpers at Killarney, Cork and Listowel; related to winners over jumps but may need more time.

Form & Verdict

Glimmer of promise on second start in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (2m2f, good) when not quite seeing out the trip; was a 17.5l sixth of 12 in first bumper start on latest at Kilbeggan in August (2m, good to yielding); has achieved more than most of these and has a chance in this company.

Form & Verdict

Placed in third point-to-point in May; midfield, beaten a combined distance of 63l in a pair of maiden hurdles at Kilbeggan (3m1f) and Listowel (2m6f); big drop in trip and tongue-tie goes on for bumper debut; each-way claims in a weak race.
