Returned from break with two underwhelming chase runs this season and unseated rider when back over hurdles in plating company 12 days ago; tricky to weigh up at present but represents respected Irish stable.

One of two for trainer; won a novice handicap hurdle at Down Royal in April last year and posted some good placed efforts subsequently; form tailed off in August and his two chase runs this year leave a lot to be desired; best treated at these weights but must return to somewhere near his best after just a six day break since his last run.

Fair hurdler's sole win was over 2m6f and stays 3m; second in a couple of points, but jumping lacked conviction when long way behind Chichester Park at Kilbeggan last month on first outing since August.

Running for the 45th time when opening her account over hurdles at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good to yielding, 100-30 fav) last month; couldn't follow up back there next time (3m1f, good, 12-1) off 5lb higher; regular 7lb claimer has been replaced for this return to fences (0-9), but her overall profile is unappealing.
