In good form over fences in March, staying well to win handicaps at Thurles and Clonmel on soft/heavy; pulled up when running off a much lower hurdles mark on quicker ground at Kilbeggan in April; more like it at Listowel on return, finishing third in a 2m event; excellent chance now over this trip. |

In great form over fences in the spring, winning at Thurles and Clonmel on soft/heavy; absent since pulled up off much lower hurdles mark on quicker ground at Kilbeggan in April; has to remain of interest off this mark, although ground not in his favour. |

Irish raider; 0-20 over hurdles but has posted some good efforts in big field since cheekpieces were added in July; will be suited by today's trip/ground and Sean Bowen takes the ride; can make her presence felt. |

Got to within 19l of the winner at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) last time, which was the closest he has gotten in five handicaps; weakened late on, so drop back in trip looks the right move but others make more appeal. |
