Killarney maiden hurdle winner in July 2023; rated 127 in that sphere; mixed bag since and has finished well-beaten on both chase starts, over 2m4f at Kilbeggan and 23.5f at Killarney on latest; surely capable of better and the drop back in trip here should suit; gets weight from his rivals and has a chance if on a going day.

Useful juvenile hurdler and is rated 127 at that game; cheekpieces worn when collared late at Ballinrobe are left off over this longer trip; interesting to see if this Flat-bred takes to fences.

One of two for yard and the choice of Donoghue; dual-purpose; 1-8 over hurdles and rated 130 in that sphere; made late mistakes when well-beaten on his chasing debut at Ballinrobe in May; absent since then and has questions to answer after a 128 day break; in good hands but often races keenly and is not one for maximum faith on recent form.

Has run seven times over hurdles, winning only once (a maiden at Gowran in September) but he easily finished 15l ahead that day and took third of six in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) two months ago on latest outing; his jumping is still not that great but this return to the forecast better ground may suit and he's an each-way player on form.

Form & Verdict

Dual-purpose; has won on the Flat and a landed maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe in May (2m1f, yielding); disappointed in three subsequent runs and now cheekpieces are added to the usual tongue tie; not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding and probably best watched on his debut in this sphere.

Useful performance when winning Ballinrobe maiden hurdle (2m1f, good) in May but well held in novice company since and raced much too freely on handicap debut at Killarney 22 days ago; this trip will suit better but he needs more.

Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner in April; four moderate subsequent runs in that sphere before shaping much better in a novices' handicap chase at Perth (2m4f, good) three weeks ago, beaten 1.25l off 116; should have learnt plenty from that experience and not without a chance dropped back in trip once the rain stays away.
