Treo Eile Novice Handicap Hurdle

Bumper winner has run with credit in five maiden hurdles without winning; is capable of running well on handicap debut but could be vulnerable too off top-weight.

Won on good ground at Thurles in November and has run well in defeat three times since including on heavy; said to have made a respiratory noise last time; can go well but is vulnerable off this mark.

Won over 2m3f on good ground at Limerick last year off this mark but couldn't cope with higher marks after; not a bad debut for this stable in a Clonmel claimer and one to consider.

Slow burner but has shown improved form since going handicapping and was a decisive winner at Clonmel last time over this trip; raised 10lb but could well be progressing enough to defy that.

Maiden was just denied in a Gowran handicap last time when finishing 14l in front of Harty Cup, though that one has improved since; should run well off 4lb higher for a new yard.
