Carrig Padraig (G)
[H]
Career best when winning 9-runner bumper at Fairyhouse (12/1) 157 days ago, in control long way out. Makes hurdles debut after leaving Martin Paul Fitzgerald and joining successful yard.

Good Show (G)
Useful at best on the Flat. First run since leaving Andrew Balding when ninth of 17 in novice hurdle (28/1) at Thurles on NH debut 40 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should step up markedly on that.

Imperial Fighter (G)
[HT]
Fair Flat winner, making jumps debut. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (7/1) 11 days ago, very slowly away. Isn't certain to take to hurdling given profile.

Barley Lane (G)
Promising type. 3/1, third of 25 in 2m novice hurdle at Naas (soft) 67 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Sets a good standard for the rest to aim at back up slightly in distance.

Dubhain (G)
[T1]
Placed both starts in bumpers and he's a promising type. 13/2, fifth of 9 in novice hurdle at Ayr (heavy) on hurdles bow 35 days ago. Tongue strap on first time and he's expected to build on that back in trip.

Promising individual. 6/4, first run since leaving A. McIntyre when second of 14 in novice hurdle at Thurles (20.4f, heavy) on hurdles bow 40 days ago. There should be plenty more to come for his leading yard.
