Won maiden point in April 2012. 4/6, won 4-runner novice hurdle at Thurles (22f, soft) in January, kept up to work. Off 10 months. One to keep on right side.
Smart bumper performer who should be very hard to beat on hurdling bow.
Didn’t need to improve to win 4-runner Tattersalls Ireland Champion Novices' Hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good to soft, 1/3) by 3½ lengths from Apache Stronghold. Off 6 months. Makes chase debut.
Highly promising individual. 4/6, won 4-runner novice hurdle at this course (22f, soft), kept up to work. Off 10 months. Stable in good form. Outstanding claims.
Highly promising type. 2nd of 24 in novice hurdle at Naas (20f, soft, 7/4) on hurdles bow 21 days ago. Leading claims in this line-up.
Chased leaders, jumped left 3rd, 2nd halfway, got on terms before 4 out where slight mistake, ridden to lead narrowly approaching straight until headed from 2 out where not fluent, struggling in 3rd when mistake last, kept on same pace (op 11/10 tchd 5/4)
Dual winner of Grade 1 novice hurdles last term, including the Royal Bond at this meeting 12 months ago. Cosy winner on return/chase debut here this month and looks the one to beat.
Smart over hurdles and made a seamless transition to this sphere when easily landing a 7-runner maiden chase at Down Royal (2½m, good) last month. Very exciting prospect.
Disputed early and settled behind leader from 1st, jumped slightly left at times, led from 5th until headed narrowly before 5 out, slight mistake in 2nd 3 out and next, soon no impression on easy winner, kept on same pace (op 4/1 tchd 7/2)
Smart bumper performer. 1/6, easily won 14-runner novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Stable in good form. Another bold show likely.
Highly promising sort. Won 16-runner novice hurdle (2/11) at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) on hurdles bow 25 days ago, forging clear. Trainer going well. Big player
Held up, took closer order behind leaders before 2nd, raced keenly early, slight mistake 4 out, not fluent disputing close 3rd next, ridden to lead narrowly after 2 out, strongly pressed from last and headed inside final 150yds, no extra closing stages (op 2/5)
