Winner twice on the Flat for JIm Bolger and best hurdles effort so far came when third of five at Down Royal, before third of five, beaten 7L in Down Royal handicap over 2m4f.
Good effort on point-to-point debut but well beaten a bumper at Downpatrick (good) in May. Steps up in trip and worth a check in the market here.
Bumper runner-up at Leopardstown in December and somewhere near that form at Killarney, before well beaten at Listowel and last day in Gowran Park, maiden hurdle.
Looked desperately unlucky to lose at Punchestown last time, looking to have the race won when tack came loose and he unshipped his rider at the last, before fifth of 15, beaten 21L in Downpatrick maiden hurdle last month.
Finished fourth in two Punchestown bumpers so far. Latest of those efforts came when finishing 11L behind the winner, fourth of 18, beaten 17L in Roscommon maiden hurdle in June.
Sire, Well Chosen, middle-distance maiden winner out of Nassau Stakes winner Hawajiss; good jumps sire.
By Getaway, top-class 12-15f winner at 3-6, unraced at 2, bro to Italian Oaks wnr Guadalupe; first 5yos 2017. 9,000euros 3yo.
Hit the frame last month at Roscommon over 2m (good to firm) despite having gone off 100/1. That was the first positive of his six-race jumping career, before third of seven, beaten 9¼L in a Bellewstown novice hurdle earlier this month.
Faller in only start in a point-to-point and 13th of 20 in Tipperary maiden hurdle 11 days ago.
Didn't shown anywhere near enough on debut at Down Royal and shown little else since.
Forecasts
Line Out (6/4), Sharps Choice (9/4), Sparky Stowaway (5/1), Brontide (7/1), Fraser (16/1), Creadan Grae (20/1), Diamond Getaway (20/1), Tungsten Kid (66/1), Thereisnodoubt (100/1), Waittillisee (100/1)
Not a great deal of pace on show here, but the likes of BRONTIDE and Sharps Choice could duel for the lead. and have a few of these in trouble some way out in this race. Line Out, well beaten at Listowel and last day in Gowran Park, maiden hurdle, but can improve to grab a place in this weaker contest.
