Still to add to his sole success in a Navan maiden hurdle in 2020; but has some excellent form in big handicap hurdles including second in this two years ago and runner-up in the Liffey Handicap Hurdle (former Sweeps Hurdle) in 2022; not disgraced in mid-division in a Listed contest at Listowel last time, his second run back from 17 months off; could go well.

Only 1-13 but was second of 27 when last handicapping at the Dublin Racing Festival of 2022; entitled to have needed it when behind Fils D'Oudairies in the Grade 3 Grimes at Tipperary; better is expected on the back of that. |

Dual winner over hurdles last season, rounding out with a fine second in a Listed mares hurdle at Punchestown after finishing well behind Foxy Girl at Cheltenham; beaten at odds-on but satisfactory return to action in a 2m Flat maiden at Thurles; could go close.

Won three bumpers and dual hurdles winner this time last year; absent since decent second in Punchestown Listed mares' novice hurdle in April but runs well fresh; slowly away when beaten odds-on favourite only previous Flat start so will need to be quicker out of the stalls, big chance if she is. |

This asks a lot after winning a Limerick maiden (soft to heavy) but that was at the expense of male opposition and she looks a natural jumper; has not been tested as seriously as many but she looks quite promising. |
