Sole win in nine Flat starts came in 1m4f (good) maiden at Tramore a year ago; gambled on, narrow 0.75l second on stable debut in Chester Plate in May off 86; ran to similar level at Galway last time; could be a nice hurdling prospect.

Good first effort for this yard when narrowly denied in the Chester Plate (18.5f, good); led and weakened into ninth of 24 off this mark in a Curragh handicap on latest (1m6f, good); drops in trip now and cheekpieces go on; favourable draw.

Well-backed to make it a successful stable debut at Chester (2m3f, good) when the line came too soon; previously won a Tramore maiden (1m4f, good to yielding) for Jessica Harrington; up 3lb for his Chester exertions but the choice of McMonagle and could improve over that seasonal return.

A 132-rated hurdler has run well in defeat on the Flat several times including when third over 1m4f here on return last month; however, was poor over hurdles at Galway since and has to rebound; the hood worn then is left off.

Lawman gelding showed a glimmer of promise when midfield at 10-1 on debut at Kilbeggan (15.5f, gd-yld) but was still beaten 20l; should improve for that initial experience but will need a lot more to win this.

0-5 in Ireland for Dermot Weld but he caught the eye on his stable debut over C&D 46 days ago, staying on for third behind Caph Star having been denied a clear run; that was his first start since October and this unexposed gelding is on the shortlist.
