Has experienced mishaps but is almost certainly good enough to win a race of this standard

Well-exposed Flat maiden, satisfactory hurdling debut at Punchestown, should go close
5	I'll Be Handy Grey J:James Smith(5) T:Matthew J Smith	J:James Smith(5) T:Matthew J Smith	154	—	5	-	118	62	23d	—	—	-6	2.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Very weak Flat form this year, mild encouragement from an initial hurdles run at Cork
6	Jr Mahon Bay J:Sam Ewing T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	J:Sam Ewing T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	154	—	7U5	-	109	83	10d	—	—	-6	2.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
68-rated maiden on the Flat, hard to fancy on the form of his three starts over hurdles

Dam is closely related to winners for this team, trainer's Good Thoughts from same family
11	Good Thoughts Bay J:Aidan Kelly(3) T:J P Dempsey	J:Aidan Kelly(3) T:J P Dempsey	147	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-3	1.1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
The dam has produced three multiple winners for the stable, pedigree points to stamina

Improved from her low base on her final three Flat starts, could feature if she jumps well

Ordinary Flat form in Britain at up to 1m4f, had an excuse on second of two hurdle runs

No sign of ability in three Curragh outings at different trips, seems safe to ignore

Weak form in Flat maidens and failed to make an impression in handicaps off a modest mark

Modest enough on the Flat, not a likely maiden hurdle winner on evidence so far
