Third in an Irish point; beaten 20l in a bumper and even further on hurdle debut at Downpatrick, though did run well for a long way latterly; every chance in this weak a race.

Very poor record in points; much better in two maiden hurdles runs; still hard to fancy but perhaps a handicap prospect in due course.

Competed in quality bumper company for Noel Meade, notably in races won by The Wager and Boycetown who have contested Grade 1s; tailed off in three bumpers for this stable.

Cost 250,000GBP after 8l debut point win at Monksgrange last year; bumper form was ordinary; may have turned a corner when making a winning debut over hurdles in a 3m maiden at Punchestown a fortnight ago; blinkered for the first time.

Point-to-point winner on good ground for Donnchadh Doyle late last season; mild promise in a Fairyhouse bumper in November; soundly beaten in another bumper at Down Royal in December; better on last two starts; met interference when third behind the market leaders at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago; strong chance now.

Ran creditably in two academy hurdles last year; fifth behind the useful Quinta Do Lago (Punchestown festival winner now rated 131) on Cork debut (good); unplaced favourite at Punchestown, heavy ground might have been an issue.

Second runner for yard; fair maiden on the Flat, runner-up in four of her last six starts at Dundalk since November; strong in the betting over C&D on hurdles debut a fortnight ago (sent off 9-2) but always in rear; still early days and better can be expected.
