Form & Verdict

Rated 104 over hurdles and he is 0-12 over timber but has run some good races in defeat; he was 0.5l behind the winner in a handicap at Listowel in May (2m4f, good); okay run in a maiden here on penultimate start when third of 15; tailed off at Wexford last time (2m4f, good); one of the likelier ones.

Form & Verdict

Best of six point starts was a 5l third; tailed off in two maiden hurdles before outrunning his odds of 125-1 to finish a good fourth at Cork last time (2m2f, good); that was a big improvement on all previous form and hard to know if he can repeat it.

Form & Verdict

Declared for 5.07 on Thursday at Killarney; rating of 112 is the highest in the field; his best run from five maidens was a 0.5l second of 16 at Kilbeggan (2m1f, good); decent effort on handicap debut last time at Cork when third; the booking of Kennedy is notable, leading contender.
