SIS Supporting Irish Racing Handicap Hurdle

Gained second Sligo win off 7lb lower two months ago (2m2f, good); shorter trip here should be fine but this softer ground is not ideal; needs the track to dry out.

Fine efforts in maidens at Tramore and Wexford in August at 2m-2m1f (good); both runs on softer than good, including on latest, well below that level so underfoot conditions a worry for this handicap debutant.

2-15 over hurdles, both wins coming on heavy ground back in late 2022; hasn't looked like adding to his tally in two runs since back from a break but the return to softer ground might spark something.

Three-time hurdles winner at 2m was in decent form earlier this year but her last two runs have been well below par; most of her best form is on better ground; others preferred.

Won a 2m2f maiden hurdle for Gordon Elliott last year; nowhere near that level in two runs for this stable; heavy defeats in handicaps on last two starts; mark sliding but hard to fancy.
