Form & Verdict
Progressive in Flat handicaps in 2023 from a low base; failed to sustain improvement in three Flat runs this year; hurdles form is more encouraging; Cork maiden winner in the spring; much more substantial form when second in the Lartigue Handicap at Listowel; blinkers on for first time, tongue-tie worn before.

Won a beginners' chase easily at Wexford in July (19.5f, good); ran another solid race on latest when runner-up in a Listed handicap hurdle at Galway; 6lb lower back over fences, handles most ground and obvious chance off top weight.

Smart hurdler (rated 143) at his best, albeit soundly beaten in competitive handicaps final two starts last term; bit laboured in his jumping on chasing debut at Clonmel in April (soft), but has had time off since and no surprise if he returned with an improved display; has to be considered on favoured ground.

Form & Verdict
1-11 on the Flat; sole win was off 70 at York last year for Richard Hannon; off the mark for this yard in a Cork maiden hurdle in May on his sixth attempt; has had two runs on the Flat since poor run over hurdles at the Galway festival; cheekpieces now fitted in addition to usual tongue-tie

Suddenly bounced back to form when heavily punted at Bangor (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) in May, but recent efforts have been underwhelming and this drop back in trip may not be ideal; considered only if the subject of another big market move.

Returned to form in a reapplied tongue-tie (retained since) and justified strong market support at Bangor (2m4f, good) in March; mixed form since, however, and only fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month following a break and wind surgery; needs to raise his game and is unproven at the trip.

Back today from a second wind operation and it took him a while to find his form after the first; only four ran when third in his latest race and he does look on a stiff mark, 10lb higher than for the easy Bangor win in March.

Form & Verdict
Remote fifth in a Ballindenisk maiden on sole start for top producer Pat Doyle; overcame inexperience when winning a maiden hurdle at Roscommon in September; that looked like an ordinary contest and his relative lack of experience could be an issue.

Has run well but has ultimately come up short in three runs since winning at Wexford last July (2m, good); far from disgraced but still beaten 18l on latest in premier handicap at Aintree (2m, gd-sft) and same mark now; longer trip needs to eke out more (good chance will stay on breeding).
