1st and 4th in his two hurdle runs; probably capable of better given bumper exploits
3	Ma Jacks Hill Bay J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	163	tb	20-126	122	125	86	42d	—	—	+10	21.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Poor last time but previous effort reads well and blinkers now added on handicap debut
8	Give Him A Chance Bay J:Tiernan Power Roche(3) T:P J Rothwell	J:Tiernan Power Roche(3) T:P J Rothwell	152	—	161325	111	128	125	15d	—	—	+17	25.8	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Both wins on good ground; given a lot to do last time on a slower surface at Navan
7	Coyote Spirit Bay J:Michael Kenneally(7) T:Gordon Elliott	J:Michael Kenneally(7) T:Gordon Elliott	157	p	31-644	116	128	87	23d	—	—	+10	19.2	1.88/1	15/2 12%
H'cap debutant, fair efforts in maidens at 2m-2m4f, may go well in first-time cheekpieces
2	Walks In June Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	165	—	135-16	124	123	69	43d	—	—	+12	21.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%

Winner of a Wexford maiden but backward steps since then in two handicaps

Maiden winner; highly tried last time and far from exposed ahead of this handicap debut
