Point winner, odds-on loser in a bumper when slow pace may not have suited, obvious chance

Point winner, improved from a bumper run when third on hurdling debut, should go close

Not disgraced in fifth on hurdling debut at Gowran, this extra half-mile should help
13	West Clare Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Brian M McMahon	J:Phillip Enright T:Brian M McMahon	166	—	2554-8	-	24	-	16d	—	—	-1	0.4	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Fair bumpers form in 2022, entitled to need his recent hurdles debut but was tailed off
