Only 6th on handicap debut when ground was soft; this surface may well suit better

Could do with settling better but has hinted at winning potential, including last time

Placed in maidens and could have some potential lurking off this initial mark
NR	Eighty Eight Chestnut J:TBC T:Ross Osullivan	J: T:Ross Osullivan	157	—	890-	104	116	91	134d	—	—	+9	15.4	3.75/1	16 6%
Useful Flat winner whose three maidens over hurdles were won by decent novices
2	Filon Doudairies Bay J:Charlie O'Dwyer(5) T:J P Broderick	J:Charlie O'Dwyer(5) T:J P Broderick	167	—	2P210-	108	123	73	163d	—	—	+21	25.9	3.75/1	16 6%
Last chase win came off a similar mark; capable hurdler who could go well
1	Listentillitellyea Brown J:Shane Fitzgerald(3) T:Thomas Gibney	J:Shane Fitzgerald(3) T:Thomas Gibney	168	—	260C-0	109	117	103	16d	—	—	+10	16.5	2.75/1	12 8%

15	Globetrottersivola Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:P J Rothwell	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:P J Rothwell	140	t	/9P70-	81	104	59	173d	—	—	+5	8.6	8.00/1	33 3%

A happier horse over hurdles but career strike-rate of 1-52 sets the alarm bells ringing
