Sky Bet, For The Fans Maiden Hurdle

Showed promise in point-to-points for the late Edward O'Grady; made a winning yard debut in a five-runner Thurles bumper in October, quickening off a steady pace for ready success on good-to-yielding ground; poor last of four in a Listed bumper at Navan; that looked too bad to be true.

Very useful Flat performer (rated 100); most recent of three wins came in a 2m Dundalk handicap in February; shaped quite well in a 1m4f handicap on AW last month after a lengthy absence; latecomer to hurdling, made a bright start with fourth behind Murat (left clear) in a potentially informative Leopardstown contest.

Half-brother to four winners; won his only point-to-point start; unable to recover after being hampered by a horse who slipped up in a 2m6f maiden at this venue seven weeks ago; remains an interesting prospect; first reserve.

Mid-division first time out in a 2m4f maiden at Down Royal; likely to do better in time; second reserve.

Brought down at the first on hurdles debut and tailed off twice since then; third reserve.
