10st 12lb |
Off the mark in a Roscommon maiden hurdle last September (15.5f, gd-yld); respectable run on handicap debut here in November (19.5f, heavy) but disappointed in a stronger race at Limerick (2m, sft-hvy) when last seen; may do better back on a sounder surface. |

Is 0-9 on Flat and 0-3 over hurdles for Alan King, though his Flat form was useful; finished third of 20 on debut for Willie Mullins when made favourite for a handicap hurdle at Galway; good chance. |

Ex-Alan King, 0-9 on Flat, 0-3 over hurdles; went very close in a 1m6f handicap at Sandown a year ago; hurdles form is undeniably modest but chance has to be taken seriously on debut for Willie Mullins. |

0-7 under Rules; placed in three of his six starts in bumpers; beaten just 2.5l when runner up at Punchestown on latest (16.5f, gd-yld); sole run on softer than good was below par so may need the forecast rain to miss. |

Solid runs in defeat in three maidens but was poor in a Leopardstown handicap last time; is capable of better and handles heavy ground so not ruled out with a hood added. |
