Unbeaten for Aidan Melia; made it 4-4 in handicap hurdles since June when scoring twice at the Galway festival; has gone up an aggregate 39lb and now bids to avail of the 73 Flat rating obtained as a 3yo; has a solid Aga Khan pedigree, so the trip should be within his range; Derek O'Connor booked. |

Thriving since joining current yard, making it 3-3 when scoring in emphatic fashion over C&D on Monday, despite taking a keen hold; hit with a 13lb rise for that so up an aggregate of 29lb since joining the yard; Conor Smithers has ridden him on all three wins and maintains the partnership here; big player. |

Paid immediate dividends on his first run for the stable when winning a Clonmel handicap hurdle in June and followed up in good style four days later at Sligo; up 16lb in total, but looks to have been prepared with this in mind and his rookie trainer is already showing himself to be a good operator. |

Flat winner is 1-11 over hurdles, having been successful in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle in March (2m, soft to heavy); good runner-up finish to the smart Switch From Diesel in a Punchestown novice hurdle in June was his best run since (2m1f, good); makes chasing debut now and his hurdles rating of 115 gives him a shout but his recent runs have been a bit below his best. |
