Front-runner placed on five of 7 attempts hurdling, notably touched off in Gowran novice handicap and again twice in similar Fairyhouse contests, latest early this month; should make a bold bid back in maiden company on a track which suits his style of running. |

Placed form in maiden hurdles before winning a weak Thurles contest in March (2m1f, soft to heavy) under positive tactics; in contrast to his win, was ridden cold for Fairyhouse handicap debut (2m, yielding) but never near to challenge despite keeping on well for seventh; worth another chance off the same mark. |

It wasn't a strong maiden he won at Thurles (soft/heavy; beat two outsiders) but he did that very easily under positive tactics and he's clearly unexposed ahead of this first handicap; his yard has won the last two renewals. |

Placed in a point-to-point and in all four starts on the track; turned over at short odds in a Tramore maiden hurdle (2m1f, soft) on New Year's Day, and even shorter when trounced by the front-running Tip Of The Wings at Limerick; jumping was sloppy then; some reservations but holds obvious chance. |

Bumper winner on this card last season; placed on all four maiden hurdle starts, two of them at this venue; ground was probably softer than ideal when she ran in a big-field handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse at Easter after a break; has plenty to find with fifth-placed Desert Haven but should be sharper now, and better ground will help. |
