Form & Verdict
Dual-purpose maiden improved hugely on previous form when runner-up in a Downpatrick 2m6f maiden hurdle; needs to show that wasn't a fluke but can be involved again if repeating that.

Some sign of ability on the Flat at up to 1m4f; 80-1 when tailed off in a maiden at Clonmel where his jumping lacked any fluency.

Finished third in a bumper and maiden hurdle last year on good ground in first two starts; not as good twice since on softer ground last December; has the ability to go well on handicap debut and worth a market check.

Held every chance when falling in sole point-to-point; shaped like further would suit in a 2m1f Clonmel bumper last month; could go well on hurdles debut upped in trip.

Point winner who ran some nice races when placed in maiden hurdles behind Zanoosh, Rebel Budz and Fillyoureye; below-par the last twice, however, including in handicap company at Fairyhouse 62 days ago; not finishing out his races and needs to bounce back.

Won a point-to-point on good ground last May; coped with much softer ground on first three maiden hurdle runs when placed behind some decent types; recent Limerick run was poor though, forcing it as usual but dropping out tamely; others preferred on handicap debut.

Maiden has been unable to repeat the form of her runner-up finish in a Galway festival bumper last season, although highly tried at Listed and Grade 2 level; these are calmer waters for her hurdling bow.

Verdict

Having been second over 2m at this venue last time, TAKE THE FREE can go one better with this step-up in trip sure to suit. Frankie’s Freebie looks to be his main danger, while Killowen House is of interest. The newcomers Fuusland and Sea Felix need to be considered. [Tyrone Molloy]
