Gannon Eco Novice Hurdle

Point winner generally disappointing under Rules until landing a maiden hurdle at Punchestown (3m, gd-yld) on his penultimate start earlier this month; poor effort at Wexford (3m, gd-yld) four days ago, however, and needs to leave that behind.

Placed in first two maiden hurdles; off the mark at the third attempt here over 16.5f (gd-yld) in April; weakened after the third last when upped to 2m4f (gd-yld) in novice hurdle at Killarney 20 days ago; stamina query upped further in trip here.

Belied odds of 100-1 to make a winning start in a Cork mares' maiden hurdle (2m3f, good) three weeks ago, beating a 117-rated rival by a head; the third from that race has won since and there's a bit of stamina on the dam side of her pedigree so there's a decent chance she'll stay this longer trip; chance.

0-7 over hurdles and rated 94; has shown ability in maiden hurdles but the closest she's got to the winner was when beaten 6.75l into third of 9 at Sligo (2m4f, good) last time; should be sharper for that first run back after a break but steps into the unknown here trip wise; others appeal more.

Modest form so far in two bumpers and was hampered and unseated at the third on hurdles debut at Ballinrobe just six days ago when she was a 33-1 shot; still early days but hard to make a case for on form.
