0-8 over hurdles but returned from ten-month break with pretty good fourth at Wexford (3m, good to yielding) for Paul Nolan in July and has Brian Hughes enlisted for today's stable debut; might be the answer.

Form & Verdict

3-7 since joining James Moffatt last summer, the latest success gained by 5l over 2m6f here on soft ground last month; evidently in very good nick but is effectively 9lb higher today (if Charlotte Jones's expired 3lb claim is considered) and this move back up in trip may not be ideal.

Form & Verdict

Placed in Wexford bumper for Willie Mullins last summer (yielding to soft); left that stable after two lesser bumper runs and has not shown much in three maiden/novice hurdles this year (2m-2m4f) but makes handicap debut off a lowly mark and is a possible improver over the new trip.
