Knocklofty Maiden Hurdle

Took a major step in the right direction when fifth of 14 in a Wexford maiden hurdle last month and that race is working out okay, producing two subsequent winners; dam stayed this trip and one to consider.

Minor promise when fifth in a Listowel bumper but well held at huge odds in maiden hurdles; tongue-tie now tried.

Point winner who ran a big race when fourth of 17 in a Punchestown handicap hurdle; reportedly made a noise when tailed off at Thurles since and has a bit to find back in maiden hurdle company after 140 days off; return to further will help at least.

Took a step forward when seventh of 17 on heavy ground here in February; not as good on quicker ground in a bumper 16 days ago and ground may be against him again.

Made all in a Wexford maiden hurdle but subsequently disqualified for a banned substance; failed to build on that at Tipperary since and could do with improvement in the jumping department; off 146 days.
