Bumper winner. Fair form over hurdles, shaping much better than the distance beaten suggests when tenth of 16 on handicap debut at Punchestown (20.5f, heavy) in January, shuffled back home turn. One to bear in mind back in trip/returned to maiden company.
|
Fair hurdler. Pulled up in novice hurdle (7/2) at Wexford (20f, heavy) 167 days ago, pulled up before last. Tongue strap back on and pick of his form gives him definite claims of being in the mix.
|
Fair on Flat (probably stays 12.5f). Yet to figure over hurdles (albeit in face of some stiff tasks) and no upturn when thirteenth of 18 on handicap hurdle debut at Naas (18.8f) 9 days ago. Not the easiest to weigh up.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16f, good to soft, 9/2) 9 days ago. In very good hands and surprise were he not capable of better at some stage.
|
Modest maiden on the Flat and similar form in this sphere. 33/1, not at best when tenth of 19 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.2f, soft) 120 days ago. Hood on 1st time and a return to positive tactics may well see him in a better light.
|
Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules who has yet to progress from her debut, pulled up in mares' maiden at Leopardstown (20f, good to soft, 66/1) 40 days ago. However, she's bred to stay well and not one to write off until getting a crack at handicaps over longer trips.
|
4-y-o gelding who showed fair form in juvenile maidens during second half of last year. Possibly needed the run after 3 months off when pulled up on handicap debut at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) 7 weeks ago and he's worth another chance back on a sounder surface.

Forecasts
Mic Drop (11/10), Kaptain Bay (15/8), Queenie St Clair (10/1), Oh So Charming (12/1), Kilfera (16/1), Jerrari (18/1), Scriabin (20/1)
KAPTAIN BAY may have found underfoot conditions taxing him on the back of a 3-month break when pulled up at Fairyhouse 7 weeks ago and he's worth another chance returned to a quicker surface in receipt of his handy 4-y-o allowance. Mic Drop, who shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests on his latest outing and Oh So Charming head up the dangers.
- Kaptain Bay15/8
