Form & Verdict
Looked a future winner when fourth, despite jumping indifferently, in decent 2m4f Killarney novice in May but his jumping is still a problem and has been beaten progressively further in three starts since; has the rating and the ability to win a race of this nature if he gets his act together; down in trip.

J: Brian Hayes

T: Philip Fenton

Progressive handicap hurdler last season took his mark to 125 after wins over 2m4f at Navan and Fairyhouse (heavy); 2m trip inadequate here on final start in March; upped in trip for chase debut and could go well if taking to fences.

Promise first couple of starts and favourite for Kilbeggan maiden when not beaten far by horse now rated 124; weak in market, shaped okay and probably needed it when fourth in Galway handicap earlier this month; should be a big player in this.

18-race maiden with a Flat background; the odd piece of form is worth noting and she has never been lower in the weights, but she's suffered four non-completions on the bounce (fell midrace on chase debut latest); a bit risky in the new hood (replacing tongue-tie).
