Just 2 career runs, both ending tailed off, the latest when seventh of 9 in a maiden hurdle here in October. Absent since and hard to recommend.

Better effort in bumpers when fifth of 8 at Tramore in October when failing to settle. Makes his hurdles debut on return and wears a hood for the first time which may help him concentrate. Respected given top stable.

Has looked decidedly poor in maiden hurdles and points and fared no better in first-time cheekpieces on chasing debut, pulled up at Punchestown in May. Has run in a point-to-point since. Now goes without headgear.

€100,000 purchase who failed to progress when mid-field in bumpers both starts this season but now makes hurdling debut in a weak affair so is one to take seriously.

Shown little in 2 maiden hurdles, including when 12th of 16 over C&D in June.

Could hardly have shown any less in varied events to date.

Struggled since handicapping but wasn't seen to best effect when eighth of 14 at Kilbeggan in May. Returns to maiden company down in trip and can be more competitive.

Shaped better than he had in 3 quick juvenile runs when 5th of 14 in a maiden hurdle at Wexford 9 days ago. Drops back in trip now but wouldn't need a lot more to prove competitive in this company.

Well-beaten in 3 maiden hurdle starts, including seventh of 11 at Roscommon 34 days ago. Plenty more required.

Showed little in bumpers and fared no better with hood applied for hurdling debut in September. Off since and hard to fancy.

Sixth of 14 in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan in May, shaping better than first time up but finishing weakly. One of the least exposed and drop in trip may help, but hard to fancy all the same.

Forecasts

Returning Officer (5/4), Boo Radley (10/3), Brother Hollie (7/2), Nile Star (8/1), Rosenborg (11/1), Unknown Fortune (25/1), Hey Sir (33/1), Tribal (50/1), Gethegoodtimesroll (66/1), A Mayo Breeze (100/1), Tommy Go Maith (125/1), Middlethird Marvel (250/1)

Verdict

RETURNING OFFICER pulled up no trees in bumpers but cost €100,000 and now makes hurdling debut in a particularly weak affair so is selected to play a leading role. Brother Hollie returns to maiden company after struggling in handicaps and could make more impact, while Boo Radley needs considering for a top yard, too.
