Curragh To Curragh Charity Cycle On 29th August Maiden Hurdle

Fair 3-time winner over middle distances on the all-weather. Wasn't disgraced when well-held sixth of 18 at Galway on latest Flat start. Now sent hurdling in first-time hood, and he'll probably be better off in handicaps down the line.

Fairly useful Flat performer. Off the mark in a Chelmsford handicap (1¼m) on final start for Jane Chapple-Hyam. Went backwards from his hurdling bow at Galway (100/1) last time and handicaps probably the aim now.

Won the Lingfield Derby Trial for Aidan O'Brien last year. Has looked a shadow of his former self for present yard, beaten 12½ lengths at Bellewstown second time up over hurdles before another no show on the Flat at Galway. Connections may have an eye on low-grade handicap hurdles after this run.

Won 3 of 4 in French bumpers. Ran by far her best race over hurdles when third in listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in early-February. Made it successive below-par efforts on return at Galway earlier this month, however, she's been found a golden opportunity to open her hurdles account here.

Has hit the frame in back-to-back maidens without coming close to replicating his fairly useful Flat form. Fortunate to finish second when beaten 14 lengths over C&D last time. Chances of going one better probably hinge on Kimi De Mai underperforming.

Supported at long odds when well held on bumper debut. Fared no better (easy to back) on hurdling debut at Killarney since. Longer-term prospect.

Showed more than previously (despite jumping none too fluently) at Roscommon in early-July, unseating at the last through no fault of his own. Another one that'll be better suited to handicaps.

Made the frame on second of 2 starts in points. Gone backwards since a mildly promising Rules debut, though, latterly falling on return at Roscommon.

Finished third on her sole start in points. Subsequently well beaten in a pair of hurdle starts 14 months apart.

Flat-bred daughter of Free Eagle. Best effort in bumpers when 2½ lengths second here in mid-June. Daniel King a positive jockey booking for hurdling debut, for all she'll probably need to improve on her bumper form.

Unpromising in points. Some encouragement on Rules debut at Galway (150/1), and she'll probably do better in handicaps over longer trips.

No form in bumpers/maiden hurdles to date.

Sister to fair 2m hurdle winner. Hooded and showed only greenness on debut at Tramore (11/1) 8 days ago. Worth a market check but relatively quick turnaround suggests she's probably a handicap project for excellent yard.
