Form & Verdict
Point-to-point winner got off the mark at the second attempt over hurdles in a 19.5f maiden at this venue and that form has been boosted since by those in behind; reportedly coughing due to kickback after struggling in a Grade 1 here on latest; he has the best form, but the drop back to 2m does not look an obvious move.

Form & Verdict
Flat winner for Andrew Kinirons; made a winning start over hurdles for this stable in an ordinary maiden at Gowran over 2m despite making a couple of jumping errors; latest run in a novice here was too bad to be true, the soft ground possibly didn't suit; today's conditions should be more to his liking.

Pulled off a shock on his Rules' debut when winning a Punchestown maiden (2m4f, good) at 40-1; dropped back in trip for his next three starts, his best effort a 2l third at Down Royal (2m1f) in a rated novice hurdle; needs to pull out more to win in this company.
