Disappointing during four-race spell over hurdles for an Irish stable this year but belied 40-1 odds when keeping-on third for new yard at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) a fortnight ago; still well handicapped on older form and should be fine back at 1m; no surprise if he features.

Showed promise in her first three starts, but hasn't built on it since handicapping; dam's side of pedigree a cause of optimism for the longer trip, but she needs to get back on track; cheekpieces removed after one use.
