Pepsi Max Hurdle

Impressive bumper winner and off the mark at the fifth attempt over hurdles at Cork in October. Back hurdling in first-time cheekpieces having been undone by his jumping on chase debut and while he has plenty on at the weights he might find this test more to his liking than the Elliott runners.

Ground-versatile performer has won 3 of his 11 starts and maintained a good run of form when fourth of 15 in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time. Return to 3m is no issue and he sets a useful standard.

Useful bumper winner chased home a progressive sort in a searching test at Fairyhouse before taking advantage of a good opportunity when going one better at Limerick (3m, heavy) last time. Should be firmly in the mix, along with his stablemate.

Fair winner of a Sedgefield maiden who got back on track when runner-up at Kelso last time. Now steps up markedly in trip, but she has plenty to find at the weights.

Out of her depth in this company.

Affinisea filly. Dam unraced. Beaten when falling on her sole start in points. Hooded for Rules debut and has been pitched into the deep end.
