Bought for £95,000 after his second in an Irish point in May; interesting on rules debut

In rear at biggish prices in his two hurdle runs in the spring and others are preferred

Bumper winner last November but she's not gone on from that and others are more convincing

Unexposed over hurdles but was disappointing on Flat last time and others are preferred

Showed promise in her last three bumpers and needs checking in market on hurdling debut

0-12 in Ireland but she looks interesting on best hurdling form; in the mix for new yard

Ability in bumpers but he's back from a long absence and is best watched on hurdling debut

Should have a future over jumps but he could be one for longer trips further down the line
