Ryans Cleaning Maiden Hurdle

Triple figure odds and ran accordingly in both previous starts; handicaps beckon.

Ran a nice race on hurdles debut at Gowran (2m, heavy) when a 9.5l fifth of 16; didn't stay when upped in trip at Naas; unseated early at Wexford two weeks ago; should be thereabouts with a repeat of that Gowran effort.

150-1 for both starts; Naas seventh on latest was a slightly better effort but was still beaten 41l; will qualify for handicaps after this.

Hasn't cut much ice in maidens or in first four handicaps, although his Cork fifth wasn't a terrible run; rated just 75 and the new cheekpieces need to have a dramatic effect.

Point-to-point winner on good ground; minor promise in a Fairyhouse bumper in November; soundly beaten in another bumper at Down Royal in December; has found a weak race for his hurdling debut but testing ground is an unknown.
