11st 12lb

J: Sam Ewing

T: Gordon Elliott

Winner of Fairyhouse bumper on debut last season and placed on three of six attempts in maiden hurdles at around 3m; ceiling-rated 110 so major player if taking to chasing, although soft ground a concern.

J: Jack Kennedy

T: Gordon Elliott

Winner of a Fairyhouse bumper on debut in November (yielding); some reasonable efforts in maiden hurdles at around 3m without winning; not so fluent at Kilbeggan last time when fading into second (24.5f, good to yielding); needs a bit more to win and needs to give weight away to most, but one of the leading contenders.

Fairyhouse bumper winner; rating of 113 gives him every chance and he's posted decent efforts at around this trip on his last three starts; obvious chance in first-time blinkers.

Rated 113; Fairyhouse bumper winner last November; looked short of pace when 10l third over 3m1f at Tipperary and last time when 2.5l second at Punchestown (2m7f); possibilities back up in trip

T: Gordon Elliott

Fairyhouse bumper winner on debut last November; beaten 9l in fifth on maiden hurdle debut over 3m at Limerick; looked short of pace when 10l third over 3m1f at Tipperary; possibly more of a chasing type, stablemate Jazz De Cotte is more appealing.
