Form & Verdict
Maiden has held his form well in handicaps this season; beaten a head off 1lb lower at Cork (1m4f, good) in July; fell when holding every chance in a Killarney maiden hurdle 11 days ago; claims back on the Flat, though may not want it too soft.

T: Andrew Slattery

Has made the frame in two runs in maiden hurdles (soundly beaten both times) since a below-par Flat run at Navan; last season's Roscommon win was gained over 1m4f; later ran well over 1m6f at the Curragh, so no major stamina doubt.

Flat winner has placed a couple of times over hurdles, oftentimes exhibiting quirky behaviour; fourth at Bellewstown last time (2m1f, yielding) when 17.5l behind the winner; fighting it out for a place maybe the best he can hope for.

Not many positives to take from three maiden runs but she's from a good family and she could improve for softer ground on handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces; worth a market check.

Built on promise of first two handicap runs when making all and winning by 15l at Roscommon (1m4f, soft) in October; hiked up 14lb so will need to improve again to follow up but that's not impossible; can't be discounted if ready after break.
