Standout run over fences when just held in Sligo novice handicap on good ground; claims

Went close over C&D on final start last season; needs to improve a good bit on recent runs

Clear potential for more over fences and drop back in trip should suit

2m6f possibly too far last time; back in trip here but ground could be on the quick side
9	School Lane b J:Caragh Monaghan(7) T:Liam Lennon	J:Caragh Monaghan(7) T:Liam Lennon	148	—	P008-3	80	98	84	26d	—	—	+4	13	8/1 11%
Encouraging enough C&D comeback run at Christmas but ideally wants softer ground
5	Finnians Row b J:Patrick M O'Brien(7) T:Dermot A McLoughlin	J:Patrick M O'Brien(7) T:Dermot A McLoughlin	166	tv	242167	98	101	91	26d	—	—	+12	21.2	10/1 9%
Probably needed last month's C&D comeback run so don't rule out here with ground to suit

Tailed off on only previous try chasing last summer, hard to fancy entering handicaps

Consistent last year until casualty at Clonmel; since changed yards and considered
