Randox Maiden Hurdle

Won a point-to-point at Tyrella in January (good-to-yielding) but hasn't counted in two maiden hurdles; perhaps more one for handicaps in due course.

Always behind on Fairyhouse debut last month when a 150-1 shot; can only be watched.

Some maiden promise and latest two 2m2f handicap runs on better ground his best yet, chasing home a clear winner here and at Kilbeggan didn't appear to quite get home when fourth of 14; place claims back in maiden company but not sure this step up in trip is what he wants.

Point-to-point second (for Warren Ewing) and has appreciated return to better ground on both recent maiden hurdle runs, chasing home a 7l winner at Thurles and over C&D in late March when made much of running in finishing third to an odds-on shot in a much stronger race; ground remains in his favour, big player.

Bumper form modest but some promise on second attempt hurdling in 2m6f Navan maiden in March on heavy; not too far off that form at Fairyhouse latest but more needed and quicker ground an unknown.
