Point winner who posted a useful RPR in winning a Sligo bumper; beaten 24l and 16l in two runs over hurdles, which were backward steps; has been off for 11 months, but that might not matter all that much and it's still early days for him.

Point-to-point winner who readily won 2m2f Sligo bumper in May (good); weakened quickly before last on hurdling debut over 2m5f (good to yielding) at Tipperary last month; has missed four intended engagements since (twice due to ground); back in trip here and major chance if reproducing his bumper form.

Beaten 14l into second in a bumper by an odds-on shot on second start here in May (2m2f, good); followed that with a maiden hurdle win back here last time (2m1f, good); needed to dig deep to get the win; he can keep improving on handicap debut.

Long odds for all three starts in bumpers; well-beaten in the first two but signs of promise when a keeping on 7.75l third of 15 at odds of 80-1 at Tramore (16.5f, gd-yld) when last seen in August; this trip should suit on that evidence; place chance if fit after break.

Doesn't lack for experience having run eight times in bumpers; best effort this year a 12.5l third at Bellewstown (2m1f, good) in July; below that level in three runs since and the forecast rain is not in his favour.
