Two wins from 6 runs over hurdles this season, with latest success at Downpatrick in October. Faced a stiffer task when twelfth of 18 in handicap at Cheltenham (16.4f, good, 20/1) 30 days ago. Could get back on track.
|
After 6 months off and in first-time tongue strap, much improved when off the mark in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.6f, heavy, 15/2) 31 days ago. Respected.
|
Attracted support but well-beaten fifth of 10 in handicap at Killarney (20.8f, soft, 5/1) on chase debut 93 days ago. Ran creditably on previous start over hurdles, so no surprise to see him bounce back.
|
Fair 12f Flat winner. Never a threat on third start in maiden hurdles when ninth of 15 at Thurles (16.1f, soft, 16/1) 24 days ago. Remains capable of better as she makes her handicap hurdle debut.
|
Failed to repeat his previous effort when thirteenth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (2m, good, 14/1) in June. Improvement needed as he goes handicapping after 5 months off.
|
Failed to come on for recent run when fourth of 6 in handicap at Tramore (12f, good to soft, 7/1) on the Flat in July. However, he looks on a workable mark back over hurdles and he could be ready to take advantage.
|
Not in the same form as previous outing when eighth of 12 in maiden hurdle (22/1) at Ballinrobe (17.7f, good to soft) 72 days ago. Makes handicap debut.
|
Good run of form halted when well-beaten fifth of 12 to Housemartin in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.6f, heavy, 11/2) 31 days ago, In the frame on his previous 2 starts, though, so could be worth another chance.
|
In first-time tongue strap on his return from 5 months off, fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft) 51 days ago, merely plugging on. Needs to find more from his present mark.
|
After 16 months off, brought down at the first in maiden hurdle (66/1) at Listowel (20f, soft) 65 days ago. Has work to do as he makes his first start in a handicap.
|
In first-time cheekpieces, possibly made effort earlier than ideal when ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, soft, 12/1) 24 days ago. Could make presence felt with headgear quickly discarded.
|
Fared no better in first-time hood when tenth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy, 100/1) in December last year. Off 11 months ahead of his handicap debut.
|
Poor maiden handicap hurdler, seventh of 14 at this course (19f, good to soft, 22/1) 42 days ago. Others preferred.
|
Remains a maiden after 22 NH runs. After 5 days off, again below form when seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Clonmel (16.3f, heavy, 13/2) 31 days ago. Capable of getting involved if on a going day back over hurdles.

Forecasts
Housemartin (9/4), Bukhill (7/2), Dontdooddson (15/2), Tipp For Mac (9/1), Robin Elite (10/1), Dgalwaygallivantor (11/1), Ventnor (11/1), The Truant (12/1), Padraigs Boy (14/1), Max Time (22/1), Sidiriya (33/1), Champagne Saloon (40/1), Thelonglad (50/1), Letters To Juliet (66/1)
THE TRUANT looked to be on a handy mark over hurdles at the end of 2022, running well when fifth at this C&D last November, so after a couple of outings on the Flat this summer he could be set to gain a first success in this sphere. Housemartin arrives on the back of a win last-time-out and could be the main danger, with Dontdooddson also considered.
- The Truant12/1
- Housemartin9/4
- Dontdooddson15/2
