Jumped at $10.00 and came in 8th last start in a hurdle at Limerick. Overlooking the last run. Expected to settle towards the tail. Good chance and definitely has claims.

First run back from a 35 week spell. Odds of $3.50 and finished 4th last start at the track. Expected to rebound. Should put in a decent effort.

First up and did well when 3rd first up last preparation at Galway. Should be going forward early. Will be facing a significant drop in distance. Should go very close.

Fresh from a 37 week break. Odds of $51.00 and only fair when 6th last run in a hurdle at Punchestown and dropping in distance. Not interested.
