Form & Verdict
Creditable third in 2m Gowran maiden last March for this yard (soft) but hasn't matched that in three runs since, latest when not discredited in much better-class 2m maiden here in November (heavy); much weaker opposition here so not one to rule out.

11st 4lb

J: Miss Georgie Benson

T: Peter John Flood

Handicap hurdle winner on debut for this yard at Ballinrobe in May; made a pleasing Flat debut when a strong-finishing second to an odds-on shot in a 1m4f Bellewstown amateur riders' event early last month; finished in mid-field in a handicap hurdle at Galway.

11st 13lb

J: Danny Gilligan

T: Peter John Flood

Got off the mark on his first start for the stable in a first-time tongue-tie when landing a 2m handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in May; emerged with plenty of credit when a good runner-up to a useful performer on the Flat at Bellewstown since; plenty of weight but should make his presence felt.

OR: 105

Form & Verdict
Much improved on handicap debut when close second at Galway (2m, yielding) in October, never near to challenge on comeback at Naas last month; bit to find on ratings but entitled to come on for that run.

J: Paddy Cody

Had run well several times in defeat before finally off the mark 11 days ago in 2m4f Wexford handicap, appreciating good ground to win going away in beating a strong favourite (pair clear); 5lb rise looks quite lenient, so major player if ground remains in his favour.

0-12 over hurdles but has run well in defeat, including when runner up in a 2m1f (good) maiden hurdle here; went close off 3lb higher at Galway in October; wide trip when midfield over C&D (good) on latest; not discounted off 2lb lower.

J: Miss E Cody

T: R P Cody

Some decent efforts placed twice in maidens and went close off 1lb higher when second at Galway (2m1f, y) in October; below form on soft since and fared no better on more suitable ground at Limerick 21 days ago after a break in first-time cheekpieces; needs to come on for that up in trip.

Moderate form shown for Declan Queally; modest enough runs (never competitive) upped in trip on both runs last month for new yard and now drops in trip.

Irish raider; exposed maiden; two fair runs on soft/heavy this year but well beaten with cheekpieces tried (on again) at Downpatrick last time (2m6f, yielding to soft); bit to prove.

Form & Verdict
Point-to-point winner ran a fine race on second hurdling start when second in 2m Clonmel maiden in December (heavy); still in contention when faller two out at Limerick later in month but not at same level in 2m4f Thurles contest last month, running a bit in snatches though finishing his race out; more needed but possible given he handles heavy.

Ability in point-to-points but yet to replicate that under Rules; heavy defeats at big odds in all four maiden hurdles at 2m-2m3f; could improve for the switch to a handicap but can only watch for now.
