OR: 88

Form & Verdict
0-6 over hurdles but has improved for the switch to handicaps; fourth on his last two starts at Killarney (good) and Roscommon (yielding), both at 20.5f; this ground should be fine and there could be more to come from him upped slightly in trip; interesting runner.

Well beaten in maidens but put up a better effort on handicap debut at Killarney in July; could be more closely involved with improvement if handling this ground.

Form & Verdict
Second runner for local yard; mild promise in one of his maiden hurdle runs; no impact yet in handicaps, though the step up to 2m6f at Listowel (soft) saw him finish 17l behind the winner, the closest he has got so far; should strip fitter for that, is nicely bred and is still early days for him; watch the market.

Yet to reach the frame in seven runs over hurdles; well beaten in first three handicaps and now 8lb lower than initial rating; fell heavily at the first on latest start at Limerick last month; best watched on first try at this trip after that.

Form & Verdict
Veteran is 3-33 over hurdles but hasn't won since April 2019; 5lb below his last winning mark but most of his best form is over shorter; beaten 22l on latest start at Killarney (2m1f, yielding); difficult to fancy on recent efforts.

Wexford winner in 2018 and 2019; inconsistent since those days, although placed over C&D in 2021; not disgraced at Wexford in August when his chance was harmed by an early mistake; hard to fancy after more recent Bellewstown run.
