Cinco Patricio's Handicap Hurdle

Winner of a Thurles maiden hurdle in November (2m7f, good); some creditable performances following that, including a second in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse in January (2m2f, soft); made Flat debut after a short break at Tramore last time under today's rider with a good second of eight (1m4f, good to yielding); she lacked the gears that day so the return to this trip looks like a positive on handicap bow.

Won over 2m6f at Down Royal off 110 in April and backed that up with some good runs in defeat; bounced back from a poor run at Punchestown to finish second of 15 at Bellewstown in July (24.5f, good); needs to again bounce back after being pulled up at Galway earlier this month (24.5f, soft); can't be totally ruled out.

Is 3-16 over hurdles, all of the wins coming on soft; her last win came in a 2m4f Limerick Christmas mares' hurdle off 116; tailed off at Naas following that and again disappointing at Limerick when last seen in April; she has won after a break in the past but the ground is a worry.

Dual-purpose gelding who is a five-time winner on the Flat but his sole win over hurdles came in a valuable Navan handicap in November (22.5f, yielding); he returned from a short break on the Flat at Tramore in July with a pleasing 0.5l second of 8 (2m, good); ran on to take fourth in the Tribes handicap hurdle at Galway last time (2m1f, good); he is starting to look dangerous.

Comfortable maiden hurdle winner at Cork in March (16.5f, good); hasn't set the world alight in two runs on the Flat following that and was again underwhelming in a Galway mares' handicap hurdle last time; seems to be on a tough mark.
