First run for 231 days when making chase debut at Ballinrobe nine days ago (2m3f, good) and was starting to make a move into contention when badly hampered at three out and pulled up. Beaten when fell at the last at Clonmel last day.
Best effort to date (in 14) came over this trip on at AW at Dundalk in February. Fair effort last time out over fences at Downpatrick, before 10th of 18 last day in a Fairyhouse Flat handicap.
Has been steadily improving in beginners' chases of late and has to rank as a contender if continuing to go in the right direction, with last run in a novice chase can be ignored.
Only had the seven Rules starts, and back in the day beat useful stayer Warrantor in a point-to-point, so capable of good form. Not seen out for almost two years when seventh of 11 last day, beaten 31L at Downpatrick.
17 race hurdles maiden, but much more effective on the Flat having won four times from 23 starts.
Last two starts were in December 2014 and June 2015 in handicap hurdles and certainly best left on return here.
Only moderate over hurdles, winning once in 16 starts though does have six further placed efforts. No impression and well beaten 26L in Kilbeggan chase last month.
Every chance when fell in Down Royal chase at the start of May when still in contention. Second on both occasions in handicap hurdles on last two starts at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan.
Beaten 55L, eighth of ten and beaten 57L, fourth of eight on last two starts, both at Ballinrobe. Best watched.
Had some ability over hurdles but developed something of a frustrating profile, disputing at Clonmel when falling two out last month, will come on for the experience.
21 race maiden who has finished in the placings on her last two starts over fences. Shaped well enough back from a break when third to Black Zambezi (Shake The Bucket runner up) at Kilbeggan last week.

Ten race maiden over hurdles and no joy in a couple of recent spins on the Flat. Fourth of 14, last month, over fences for the first time in a 28 race career which has yielded just a sole 1m4f Dundalk success.
Disappointing on the whole and managed just one placed effort from 11 starts over fences. Beaten 45L in a first time tongue tie over 2m5f at Roscommon, before 34L defeat in Tramore chase over 2m last month.
Well beaten a total of 130L in last three starts over timber. Hard to see any shoots of hope on chasing debut.
One win from eight starts over hurdles, finally getting her head in front at Ballinrobe three starts back when staying on gamely. Won on seasonal debut in a Gowran Park handicap hurdle two weeks ago, now for chasing debut.

Plenty of likely front runners here with Ciankyle, Mossy Island, Deputy's Pass, Valgour Du Ronceray and Nancys Icon all up with the pace in this beginners chase. DEPUTY'S PASS is taken to improve on first appearance for two years when seventh of 11 last day, beaten 31L at Downpatrick. Ciankyle and Mossy Island can fill the places.
- Deputy's Pass
- Ciankyle
- Mossy Island
