Unimpressive in three maiden hurdles so far at 2m4f-2m6f, has been off over the summer and needs to improve on return.
Dual bumper winner, ran best race (from five) over timber when close second last time at Listowel (3m, good) having seemingly relished step up in distance. Not certain to be suited back down in journey now.
Placed five times from seven starts over timber, well-held in 2m½f Galway maiden hurdle last month (fourth of 15, beaten 31L) but worth a look going back up in distance now.
Didn't show much in two spring bumper starts, improved on hurdles bow at Listowel (2m, yielding to soft) last month when taking third spot. Up in trip and one to pay attention to.
Black Sam Bellamy gelding, makes racecourse bow her for Jessica Harrington and market should be informative on what is anticipated.

Forecasts
Felix Desjy (4/6), Macgiloney (13/8), Vinnie The Hoddie (15/8), Roseriver Has (11/4), Bennaway (12/1), Whydah (20/1), Tidal River (33/1), Liberadio (33/1)
FELIX DESJY won two bumpers last year and acquitted himself well at the spring festivals. His best work was always likely to come once meeting obstacles and he can make a winning start to his discipline for Gigginstown and a red-hot trainer. Vinnie The Hoddie has run well enough in one hurdles start and can claim minor money, while Macgiloney is also deemed likely to be winning one of these before long.
