Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. 13/8, sixth of 9 in bumper at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 22 days ago, finding little. Still, he remains a bright prospect now attentions switch to timber and he's well worth considering given p…

Promising individual. 4/6, fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, soft) on hurdles bow 31 days ago, considerately handled when his chance had gone. In top hands and surprising where he not able to leave that form well behind.

Only For Our Man (G)
Winning pointer who finished runner-up in a bumper for Stuart Crawford and likely he'll be a good deal sharper for his reappearance/yard debut fifth in a Tramore maiden (16.8f) 19 days ago. Better to come.

Sense Of Occasion (G)
Promising sort who took a step forward from his debut effort without looking anything like the finished article when fifth of 17 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (2m, heavy) 25 days ago. Very much the type to go on progressing.
