Form & Verdict

Three-time winner over hurdles in the past; 0-8 chasing however, including third in 2m5f Sligo beginners last autumn and okay fourth in Navan novice handicap, both on good; recent return to fences at Down Royal was poor so plenty of questions to answer with blinkers tried.

Form & Verdict

Front-runner's two hurdle wins have been at Limerick in testing conditions; out of depth on recent chase debut at Navan (Grade 3) this looks more realistic but quicker ground not ideal.

Form & Verdict

Hit the crossbar in a couple of maiden hurdles last term on soft/heavy; similar conditions in two chase attempts last month, latter occasion when clear fourth in decent 2m4f Clonmel mares' beginners; unproven on this better ground.
