Top rated in the field with a mark of 126; won 16f Punchestown handicap hurdle off 118 in early May. Beaten at odds on in 4yo hurdle at Ballinrobe when last sighted two months ago; needs to rediscover his best form to feature at the business end; cheekpieces retained. |

Dual-purpose sort has been in fine form this year, winning twice over hurdles (Sligo and Downpatrick) and also taking a Flat maiden at Killarney; was 6.5l ahead of Pigeon House in a Galway novice (levels) in between; that has all come on a sound surface but has handled testing ground too; should go close.

Has hit a very decent level of form over the summer, winning a Sligo maiden hurdle and a Killarney Flat maiden; surpassed that when runner-up in a novice hurdle at Galway; looks the one to beat. |

Won on the flat at Killarney over 14.5f 13 days ago; previously hosed up in Sligo maiden hurdle over 17f (RPR 115); comes into this race in form and hails from a strong yard but needs more to win this. |

Faced an unenviable task when contesting a mares' handicap at Galway from 6lb wrong; clear chance on her best form though needs to step up a little on what she showed when fourth at Cork early last month. |

Should be better for a recent Flat run at Ballinrobe, when she had no luck in running; placed twice over hurdles and deserves respect on her third behind the subsequent Boodles runner-up Eagles Reign in a handicap at Punchestown in January. |

Dual Flat winner as a 2yo; four hurdles starts for this yard; third in a maiden at this track before being 14l behind Mordor at Sligo; much better off at the weights with that rival now but disappointing at Kilbeggan since.

Won first two starts at two for David O'Meara; failed to make an impact in handicaps last year; bought for 25,000gns; made encouraging hurdles debut when chasing home an all-the-way 11l winner at Bellewstown; needs to jump more slickly than when confirming ability with 2l third at Ballinrobe. |
