Veteran finished closer than on hurdling debut when 8¾ lengths fifth over C&D last June. This is weaker but he's tricky to fancy after another 14 months off.

A fairly useful middle-distance performer on the Flat (suspended from running for 60 days by the stewards at Limerick in June). Might be one for handicaps later on in this sphere judged on his opening effort at Fairyhouse in April.

Much improved when second in 19f maiden hurdle here in June and can surely win races on that showing. Leading claims.

Little encouragement in maiden hurdles 18 months apart (trained by Tom Dreaper on debut in January 2025, hooded on return).

€38,000 point winner. Showed a fair bit when third of 7 in 21f Sligo novice hurdle earlier this month, with stablemate Mr Caulfield in second, and entitled to improve.

Point winner who left his hurdling debut form well behind when second in 21f novice hurdle at Sligo earlier this month. Holds stablemate Fox Walk on that running and should be on the premises again.

Timeform
Capri half-brother to fair hurdler Maimie's Magic (17f-2¼m winner, by Getaway), stayed 23f. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stays 21f) Sanibel Island and fairly useful hurdler (stays 3m) Ailie Rose. Not overfaced on debut and yard can ready one.

Forecasts

Mr Caulfield (6/4), Euro Agent (5/2), Fox Walk (4/1), Eben Zaabeel (10/1), Tullynakill (12/1), Cap Bernat (14/1), Fairy Meadow (14/1), Nelliestar (150/1), Greenroad Girl (250/1)

Verdict

EURO AGENT took a big step forward when second here in June and can go one better in this thin maiden. Noel Kelly's pair Mr Caulfield and Fox Walk are respected, while Tullynakill is bred for the job and worth a look on debut.
