Cracking hurdle efforts lately; Thurles 2m maiden winner last year; might find this sharp

Ran respectably in three maiden hurdles over the winter; handles good ground; of interest

Below par in a 1m2f Leopardstown handicap last time but back to this trip will help

Won this last year; an excuse for a poor hurdle run last time; has to return to best
5 (10)	Almuhit b J:Mark Enright T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Mark Enright T:Denis Gerard Hogan	141	p	8123-0	91	96	79	16d	—	—	+7	11.5	20 5%
Couldn't get involved after a slow start in the Chester Cup; can't be ruled out

Disappointing in a Listed event at Gowran last time; seems stable's second-string
19 (2)	Last Ammo ch J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Richard John Obrien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Richard John Obrien	128	—	255-08	78	97	93	12d	—	—	+4	8.1	20 5%

6 (14)	Golden Twilight b J:Ronan Whelan T:M Halford & T Collins	J:Ronan Whelan T:M Halford & T Collins	139	t	1261-0	89	100	57	21d	—	—	+6	11.1	18 6%
Solid sort; ground was too soft on seasonal debut and this will suit better
15 (19)	Morph Speed b J:Mikey Sheehy T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J:Mikey Sheehy T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	132	t	6707-7	82	98	77	37d	—	—	+3	10.1	11 9%
Encouragement on return for a new yard; player if improving from that with a tongue-tie on
17 (7)	Snapius b J:W J Lee T:J A Nash	J:W J Lee T:J A Nash	130	—	60/1-3	80	96	90	20d	—	—	+13	19.1	14 7%
Decent effort returned to the Flat at Ayr (1m2f); needs to find more; rise in trip a help
3 (11)	Bradesco b J:Nathan Crosse T:Luke Comer	J:Nathan Crosse T:Luke Comer	144	—	2/79-4	94	92	-	14d	—	—	+12	14.2	100 1%
