Hasn't set the world alight on the Flat, including last time but has finished runner-up on all 3 starts in juvenile maiden hurdles, though was some way below his previous efforts at Killarney when last seen in this sphere in August. Sets the standard at his best but needs to bounce back.

Ran to a borderline fair level on the first 2 of his 3 starts on the Flat at up to 12.8f but made a discouraging debut in this sphere at Killarney recently.

Modest handicapper on the Flat, who won 1½m event at Fairyhouse in June. Not so good in that sphere since, but the fact she's a half-sister to a winning hurdler in Cumberland River gives hope that she'll have a future in this sphere. Worth a market check.

Showed first form over hurdles when 23½ lengths fourth of 11 to Sea Of Dubka in 3-y-o maiden event at Killarney last time, albeit without suggesting he'll prove up to winning one of these events.

Blue Bresil gelding. Dam, 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), also 17f winner on Flat, half-sister to useful hurdler (stays 3m) Gaoth Chuil out of useful 2m/2½m hurdle winner Elyaadi. Is almost certainly one for the longer term given connections.

Half-brother to several Flat winners, including the smart middle-distance performer Armande, and out of an 11.5f listed winner, herself a half-sister to 2 winning hurdlers headed by the useful Maxim Gorky. Unfancied when last of 8 on Flat debut and market should again prove informative.

Sea Moon filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Morricone. Dam, bumper winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 21f) Encore Champs and fair hurdle winner/fairly useful chase winner (stayed 3m) African Dance out of useful 2m hurdle winner.

Showed fair form at up to 1¼m on the Flat and could hardly be in better hands now turning his attention to hurdling. Interesting.

Very little impact in a handful of maidens on the Flat at trips ranging from 1m to 1½m.

Third foal: dam modest 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m). Yard aren't known for their winning debutants.
