Turned in his best effort since returning from a lengthy absence under an enterprising ride when 3½ lengths third of 14 to Londonofficecallin in 2¾m handicap at Killarney, racing clear long way. Has stamina to prove now tackling 3m.

Much improved since joining current yard, winning Ballinrobe handicap in July before defying an 11 lb rise in a 3m event at Roscommon last month by 5½ lengths from Mavetherave. Still had plenty to do when falling 2 out back at Ballinrobe last time and further progress needed off current mark.

Good efforts when runner-up in maidens at this course in May and Cork in July, chasing home Sound Judgement in 11-runner 3m event on latest. Interesting now reverting to handicaps from reduced mark.

Got back to winning ways reverted to hurdling in 13-runner event at Kilbeggan (25f, good to soft) earlier this month and shaped as if still in good form when 19¼ lengths third of 11 to Brandt in handicap chase at Galway last time. Races from 5 lb out of the handicap back over hurdles.

Confirmed previous promise when winning extended 19f handicap at Cork in May by 3¼ lengths from Coded Welder. Up 8 lb for that success and should stay further than 2½m, but this is a much more competitive scenario. Races from 1 lb out of the handicap.

Confirmed previous promise when winning a 13-runner 19f maiden at Kilbeggan last month by 2¼ lengths from Tyson Fury. Improved when chasing home Smallcraftwarning in 25f event there 19 days ago. Arrives on the up and any further progress should see him firmly in the mix.

Confirmed previous promise when landing a 2½m maiden hurdle at Killarney in May, beating Splendid Fellow by a ½ length. Should be sharper for recent outing at same track last month and step up to 3m should suit given his pedigree. Remains open to improvement and wears first-time tongue strap.

Likeable mare who added another 2 successes to her name last season, including a listed mares event. Entitled to be sharper for recent return and has often run well at this course/meeting in the past but remains on career-high mark.

Capitalised on a much-reduced mark when landing 9-runner 2m handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan in September. Remains well treated on old form despite 6 lb rise, but that race panned out perfectly for him and much more needed here back up in trip.

One of his better recent efforts when second over fences at Wexford (24.7f) in July but shaped as if needing the emphasis more on stamina when fifth of 7 back over hurdles at Ballinrobe in August. Let down by jumping last time. Placed in this previously off a higher mark but needs a proper test.

Fair form across maiden hurdles, in first-time tongue strap when fifth of 12 at Killarney (2½m, good to soft) in May. Open to improvement now tackling handicap company and stepped up to 3m.

Shaped as if retaining ability without necessarily confirming his stamina for the extended 3m trip when 18 lengths sixth of 18 to Caher Roes Den at Galway in August. Ran to just a similar level back down in trip last time. Yard going better now but has work to do to be involved here.

Signed off for Peter Fahey with victory over hurdles at Punchestown in October. Unseated first at Galway on return in July and probably still needed the run when last of 8 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan 8 days later. Back over hurdles now and visor back on but step up to 3m is an unknown.
