Thrice-raced maiden. Again little impact when 100/1, thirteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Naas (19f, heavy) 14 days ago.

Showed much more than he had on bumper debut when fifth of 26 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 200/1) on hurdles bow 23 days ago. Open to improvement upped in trip.

Looks to be being brought along gradually, seventh of 19 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, soft, 100/1) 22 days ago. Upped in trip and may well do better at some stage, likely in handicaps.

Possibly wasn't right when last in valuable sales bumper on debut. Promising hurdles debut but unable to build on that when, 7/4, fifth of 16 in novice hurdle at Naas (19f, heavy) 14 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Worth another chance in a winnable maiden with yard flying.

Bred to stay well. Ran to similar level as on debut when ninth of 18 in bumper at Listowel (16f, good to soft, 14/1) 95 days ago. Should be suited by this greater test and worth a market check.

5/1
Stoutly bred and lacked pace to get involved on bumper debut. Shaped with some promise sent hurdling, 50/1 and hooded for first time, sixth of 18 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.4f, heavy) 27 days ago, not ideally placed. May build on that.

Lightly-raced maiden was well beaten on handicap debut when 80/1, nineteenth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.8f, heavy) 46 days ago. Needs to improve.

Attracted support when well held on bumper debut. Sent off at long odds but showed more when fifth of 12 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 150/1) on hurdles bow 58 days ago. Should do better at some stage and market can guide.

Showed a bit more than previously when 200/1, eighth of 15 in novice hurdle at Cork (15.9f, soft) 36 days ago. Will make more appeal in handicaps.

Little impact over hurdles to date, eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle (150/1) at this course (20f, heavy) 2 days ago. Only considered if backed.

Failed to complete all 3 starts between the flags and showed little more than on hurdles debut when seventeenth of 22 in novice hurdle (300/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 43 days ago. Little appeal this side of handicaps.

Forecasts

Lord Of The Locke (2/1), Genepi George (5/2), Tiger Twins (4/1), No Cure (5/1), Lincall (11/2), Listentomewillya (8/1), We Be Grand (10/1), Hilltop Duchess (25/1), Just For One (28/1), Walkmethroughit (33/1), Harty Cup (40/1), Shuil Swift (40/1), Matilauna (100/1), Three County Star (100/1), Beara Beauty (150/1), Urbs Intacta Manet (150/1), Crab Road (200/1), Udontneedtoknow (200/1)

Verdict

In a winnable maiden, LINCALL looks worth another chance to confirm the promise of his hurdle debut, while Genepi George is open to improvement upped in trip and could be the danger. Tiger Twins and Hilltop Duchess should do better at some stage and are worth noting for support, along with Listentomewillya who showed more here last time.
