Out of depth on Flat last twice, promise last hurdling start, might want softer ground

Caught attention of stewards on h'cap debut latest, better ground a plus, go well

Not a bad run on stable debut after early mistake, strip fitter, go well for local yard

Knocking on the door recently, moves up in grade, new blinkers need to eke out more

Decent third at Clonmel in April, has run ok over C&D so can't be discounted

Won off 8lb lower last December, hasn't shown enough in recent starts to be of interest

Maiden winner, no impact in first two h'caps, this easier than latest but others preferred

Modest maiden form, nicely bred so could improve for h'caps, yard in form, 1lb wrong
4	Pahlavi Bay J:Ben Harvey T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Ben Harvey T:John Joseph Hanlon	162	t	305138	104	111	99	22d	—	—	+18	21.4	33/1 3%
Won off 4lb lower at Downpatrick, beaten twice since, may be on tough mark
