Well beaten over fences and in point-to-points recently and didn't improve for reversion to hurdles in a Tramore claimer last time; new headgear tried.

Point-to-point winner; 1-12 over hurdles and rated 112; 0-2 over fences and tailed off on debut for this yard in a beginners' chase at Thurles; much more needed.

Won over hurdles at a lowly level; tailed off in his previous beginners chase and recent pointing exploits just as discouraging; the hood is new.

J: Jordan Gainford

T: Cian Collins

Well beaten on chasing debut four weeks ago and now quickly reverts to hurdling, but held every chance before unseating rider at third-last flight on last month's stable debut at Killarney (2m4f, yielding); no surprise if he features.
