Form & Verdict
Placed in sole point-to-point for Pat Doyle; fell early on his Rules' debut in a Naas maiden hurdle but made amends by winning in fine style at Punchestown (2m3f, soft) a month ago; unexposed, is bred to appreciate this longer trip and could go well if handling this better ground (both siblings won on good to soft).

Form & Verdict
The sole mare in the field gets a nice bit of weight from the boys but she has a bit to find with a rating of 120; ran a nice race in a 2m4f listed mares' novice here last month, shaping as though further would suit; has run well on both previous starts on good-good to yielding; more needed to win but she could outrun her odds.

Half-brother to Fayonagh won a bumper for Philip Fenton last April and a maiden hurdle on his first start for this yard in November, both on soft ground; came up short in a Grade 1 novice at Naas (2m4f, soft) when last seen in January; better ground might suit here and he isn't discounted back in these calmer waters.

Ran Supreme runner-up William Munny close in a bumper but was well behind that same rival in a Listed race on his penultimate start, since when he has again performed below his best at Navan (2m6f); represents Team Mullins but hasn't built on an encouraging start over hurdles and he's not bred for this new trip.
