Won a point-to-point at Bartlemy before being snapped for a hefty price tag at the Doncaster sales in May. Ready for a crack at this trip judging by his debut run over hurdles and looks an interesting contender.
Shaped with promise so far and time may tell he wasn't disgraced behind a very useful winner last time out. More required here but not unfeasible to suggest he can improve. Worth a betting check.
Out of form and difficult to recommend on recent efforts. others much more convincing.
Form in point-to-points needs to be dramatically bettered for the gelding to figure at this level. Plenty to prove just now.
Had a couple of these well adrift last time out and should be capable of another bold bid. Step up in trip a slight concern but has to be considered as a leading contender if his stamina holds out.
Two modest efforts for his former yard and plenty to prove on debut over hurdles and first run for his new trainer.
Fell twice in point-to-points and also failed to complete in a solitary run for Willie Mullins. Plenty to prove just now.
Showed promise in point-to-points but not progressed under rules. Difficult to recommend.
Showed little in either of his previous starts and needs to step things up in a big way. Stable has other options and more likely candidates for the time being.
Consistent in point-to-points and very feasible he can improve for the return to racing under rules. Debut ruin over hurdles was only modest though. Improvement required.
Shown an aptitude for hurdling and represents a top yard, so the long absence since last December may not be such a worry. The betting can guide here.
Shaped nicely in a bumper on debut but failed to build on that when well held on debut over timber last time. Much more required here.
Two starts in point-to-points need to be improved upon if the mare is going to take hand in this company. The first time hood needs to spark a big amount of improvement.
Never a factor in two point-to-points and much the same in a mares only race when she debuted over hurdles last time out. Hard to recommend.
Winner of four point-to-points and hinted at ability with a couple of fair efforts in defeat in bumpers last season. Been away from the action for very nearly a full year but doesn't have much to find if taking to jumping again. Player.
Registered her best effort to date in a mares only race last time, which was a big step forward on previous form. More still required this time and may be best watched.
Solid effort to win a point-to-point in October but lacked the same sparkle when debuting over hurdles last time. Big improvement required from the filly.
Shaping with promise and not much to find with Calicojack after their encounter at Gowran Park last time out. The rider's 3lb claim could be a useful tool if this goes to form.
Modest form in point-to-points and already has a bit to find with Howay Aoife judging by their respective efforts at Navan last time. Plenty to prove on that evidence.

Forecasts
Sinoria (5/2), Calicojack (11/4), Invincible Cave (5/1), Kalum River (11/2), Trappist Monk (8/1), Rakhine State (16/1), Holycross Lito (20/1), Billy Kimber (20/1), Getaway North (25/1), Mandy's Quine (33/1), Oscar Light (40/1), James Boru (50/1), Howaya Aoife (50/1), Kearney (50/1), Walking In Memphis (50/1), Pegase Amour (50/1), Galardo (50/1), Florence Bay (66/1), Arizengo (66/1), Bellaney Gem (66/1)
This may be within the compass of CALICOJACK, who edged out Sinoria last time and looks the more progressive at this stage. Holycross Lito has a long absence to overcome but this lacks strength in depth so may be up to the task if fully wound up. Kalum River and Invincible Cave are others to consider for a place in the frame.
- Calicojack
- Sinoria
- Holycross Lito
