Back on a tempting mark and there were signs of a revival last time

A visor replaces blinkers but he very nearly opened his hurdling account two weeks ago

Course maiden winner over 2m4f; today's greater emphasis on stamina could suit
4	Cher Tara b Danny McMenamin · Daragh Bourke	Danny McMenamin · Daragh Bourke	160	—	-P6395	95	99	93	40d	—	—	+2	16.5	11/2 15%
Left Gordon Elliott for £3,500 but it wasn't that bad a run last time at Ayr

Stamina to prove but he is a last-time-out winner and only went up 2lb for that

Returns to hurdling after four defeats over fences, though two of those were respectable

Lightly raced since her two wins in 2024 but current wellbeing is an issue

Ran poorly last time and this return to hurdles isn't an obvious positive (0-22)
12	Dreamings Free b Charlie Maggs(5) · Maurice Barnes	Charlie Maggs(5) · Maurice Barnes	142	t	64-238	77	101	52	38d	—	—	+4	7.7	25/1 4%
Runner-up over a similar trip in May but opposable on the balance of his form

One notable run out of three for this yard when winning over 2m at Ayr (2m, soft)

Four wins over hurdles and now back in this discipline after struggling over fences

Runs well now and again but wouldn't appear to be crying out for this longer trip
