Carried a decent reputation last year but was beaten at short odds in all three bumpers; picked up a knock in that third defeat at Downpatrick, which ruled him out for 319 days, but he made a taking return when winning a 2m4f bumper at Kilbeggan in July (the only time in his career he didn't start favourite); would likely take high rank in any winter maiden hurdle so should be hard to beat in a race of this nature.

Showed decent form in points and bumpers for Harry Kelly; fine start for this yard when second in a Tipperary maiden hurdle in July but not as good at Galway afterwards; only beaten a nose in one of these auction maiden hurdles at Ballinrobe over 2m6f although this race looks stronger; back in trip.

Experienced sort very consistent in maidens this season, making up for narrow defeats at Ballinrobe and Listowel by winning 2m5f contest here a fortnight ago, battling on well; should stay this trip but best form is on decent ground so this softer ground a concern. |

Two poor bumper runs, but has shown a degree of promise on all three attempts over hurdles; best effort when runner-up at Clonmel on penultimate start (winner placed in handicaps since); Down Royal fourth was respectable enough; appeals as a relatively unexposed sort. |
