Winless over hurdles and yet to trouble the judge; 6.25l seventh latest was an improvement

Little impact in points and just okay m'den hurdle runs; mark doesn't look lenient

Dual point winner was tailed off in m'den hurdles but worth a market check for h'cap debut

Weakened into seventh at Limerick latest; big improvement needed

4-59 over hurdles and ran a decent race over C&D in Dec'; lesser runs over fences recently
3	Arctic Piper Bay J:Simon Torrens T:Patrick T Foley	J:Simon Torrens T:Patrick T Foley	162	tv	F-07P8	94	107	68	13d	—	—	+7	12.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Beaten over 20l in last four completed starts; ran well in a m'den here in Feb'

Two runs this year leave a lot to be desired and of little appeal on that basis

Huge odds for three m'den hurdle starts, and ran like it; impossible to fancy on form
