Maiden point-to-point winner in October 2015 but failed to place in ten starts under rules since and others have a more obvious chance here.

Disappointing in two starts since finishing 3L fourth of 13 over 2m at Tramore (good) in June. Returns from a break here and one to note in this contest.

7/1
Well held in six efforts over hurdles prior to a spell in point-to=points. Most recent effort that in that sphere came when third of 14 at Kinsale in June and wears a tongue tie on his return to rules for a leading stable today.

Shown a fair level of ability in four starts under rules so far. Most recent effort came when fifth of ten at Killarney (2m4f, good) last month and one for the shortlist in this contest.

Forecasts

Sparky Stowaway (6/4), Movingswiftlyalong (11/4), Chapelier (11/2), Full Batten (7/1), Esthers Present (12/1), Catch My Drift (16/1), Railway Muice (33/1), Dry Run (33/1), The Rap Queen (33/1), Zagnzig (66/1)

Verdict

MOVINGSWIFTLYALONG has put in a couple of decent efforts in maiden hurdles so far and can make a winning return to obstacles following a bumper outing last time. Shane Ryder's charge finished fourth behind a subsequent winner last time out and is taken to get the better of Chapelier who ran well in a couple of maiden contests in the spring. Full Batten was running well in maiden point-to-point events when last in action and can claim third on his debut for this stable.
