5/2
Impressive when winning bumper at this course first time up. Reported to have struck into himself when sixth of 13 in maiden at this course (16.4f, good to soft, 8/13) on hurdling debut last month, so he remains capable of better in this sphere.

Promising second in valuable sales bumper at this course in April last year. After 8 months off, shaped better than result on first run since leaving Stuart Crawford when eighth of 23 in maiden at Leopardstown (16f, good, 7/1) on hurdles bow. Off again since but he's a major player.

Hasn't offered much so far, pulled up both starts in points and down the field in a bumper before tailed-off eighth of 9 in maiden hurdle at Clonmel (19.9f, good, 50/1) in April. Looks to be up against it after 7 months off.

Some promise in bumpers and faced stiff task sent hurdling when mid-field in a Galway novice last summer. Tenth of 23 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, heavy, 40/1) making Flat debut 11 days ago, but he's open to improvement back over hurdles.

Remote third in maiden hurdle at Limerick (21.3f) on debut, but showed a bit more when fifth of 15 at Tipperary (16.9f, good to soft, 14/1) in May. Improvement required back up in trip on return from 6 months off.

Forecasts

Yeshil (4/6), Vitorio Piel (5/2), Eagle's Quest (6/1), Jonny Carrol (10/1), Campbell Black (16/1), Kofino (300/1)

Verdict

Having shaped promisingly in a course bumper, YESHIL went well for a long way on his stable/hurdling debut in a race won by the subsequent Supreme winner, so he is taken to get off the mark with improvement to come. He is preferred to Vitorio Piel, who had excuses on his recent hurdling bow, with Eagle's Quest the pick of the remainder.
