Placed on debut in Naas bumper last year for Tom Mullins; decent placed efforts on first two hurdling attempts for current yard in C&D maidens in May; more needed to play a leading role but has to be on the shortlist.

Favourite for four-runner bumper on debut in sole start for Tom Mullins but was too keen and finished third; two moderate runs in bumpers for this stable before a much-improved display when second at this venue 16 days ago on his hurdling debut; jumping was fine, needs to settle better.

Godolphin cast-off related to Group winners; decent maiden form last summer for Matt Smith, including narrow defeat in 10.5f maiden at Down Royal, and raced off 78 when last seen in that sphere (Whats New is 62 on the Flat); lame on hurdles debut; after seven months off, beaten 20l at Sligo in May where jumping was novicey late on.

Runner-up in maiden hurdles at Clonmel in May and Punchestown last month; failed to match that form at Wexford last Friday; interesting that he makes a quick reappearance with Colin Keane booked; turf Flat form is modest but not without a chance if reproducing last winter's best AW form.
