Course bumper winner and placed in both her maiden hurdles; thereabouts

Runner-up in a C&D maiden last month and won't be far away with something similar

Closely matched with Charlie's Dilemma on a recent C&D clash; fair shout

Impressive bumper winner; unlikely that he gave true running when 100-30 for hurdle debut
7	Look Dont Touch Bay J:Mr I Ryan(7) T:Conor David Maxwell	J:Mr I Ryan(7) T:Conor David Maxwell	158	—	56-255	103	119	51	34d	—	—	+9	14.9	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Has the form to feature but below par the last twice and he's now 0-27

Showed some ability before ultimately pulling up in only point, for which he was just 3-1

Half-brother to bumper winner Paddy The Wire; dam failed to complete in points
10	Western Ability Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:D M Christie	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:D M Christie	158	—	PP7O-8	-	87	54	52d	—	—	-1	0.2	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Nothing to shout about in points and was well beaten in a maiden hurdle here in May
11	Nicolas Fortune Brown J:Philip Donovan(5) T:K A Heffernan	J:Philip Donovan(5) T:K A Heffernan	151	t	/P-606	-	74	62	7d	—	—	-1	0.2	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Placed in two points but has weak form claims on what she's shown under rules

Insufficient promise in his two points to warrant a second glance in this maiden
NR	Beaufort Scale Bay J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	158	t	4-432	-	120	79	10d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Strong form claims, provided he doesn't get outpaced around here back in trip
