Maiden winner on fourth start over C&D in August, has run in some decent company since without success though effort in April at Gowran Park wasn't as bad as the placing suggests, before disappointing last day at Leopardstown.

16/1
Has tended to find things hard going in turf handicaps over 1m/1m1½f recently, continues to drop in the ratings as a result.

16/1
Glimpses of ability as a two-year-old but starts since joining his current yard have been uninspiring, including well beaten on last two Flat starts.

Cost 32,000 gns as a yearling, there hasn't been much to shout about in three maidens, two in Britain and stable bow for this trainer at Tipperary in June. Subsequent Flat starts have been disappointing.

Posted couple of improved efforts recently for the addition of blinkers, notably at Leopardstown three starts ago when beaten less than 2L. Nine-race maiden, seven of them on turf.

Has to improve significantly on the form of two autumn appearances in mile maidens and a heavy defeat last day in Tipperary 1m2f maiden.

Forecasts

Brutal (1/2), Grey Waters (7/2), Vision D'Ete (10/1), Richard Strauss (16/1), Vanderbilt (16/1), Foxy Lass (25/1), Machine Head (33/1), Little Princess (33/1), Downtown Rebel (40/1), Masterstonemason (40/1), Nobleman (50/1), Loose Chippings (50/1)

Verdict

All make their hurdling debut in this race. Based on their Flat starts, Grey Waters, Downtown Rebel and Loose Chippings have been known to lead. In a race that very difficult to access the runners' experience, I feel, Vanderbuilt, Richard Strauss, Grey Waters and Little Princess all deserve a second look, but preference is for BRUTAL, thought good enough to run in the Group 1, Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster when with Ger Lyons, who should be speedy enough to take care of these.
  1. Brutal
  2. Grey Waters
  3. Little Princess
