Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle

Best effort came on second start for this yard when third over this trip at Sligo last time; 1lb higher today but further progress is likely so goes on the shortlist.

First reserve; beaten only 7l at Ballinrobe in May but Tramore race came too soon three days later when well behind; a minor squeak if rebounding.

Second reserve; has been regressive in handicaps lately and the added tongue-tie has to spark a major turnaround.

Third reserve; was an 11l second at Tramore in April but has been well below that level twice since and has to rebound.

Some promise in maidens for Henry de Bromhead last year; was well beaten when unseated on handicap debut at Kilbeggan; needs a return to best in cheekpieces.
