Soundly beaten in a Down Royal bumper on Boxing Day but hasn't looked back since switching to hurdles, runner-up in maidens at Navan (2m, heavy) and Downpatrick (2¾m, good) prior to opening account in 10-runner novice over C&D. Open to fur…

Drumconnor Hill (G)
Runner-up on his completed start in points and showed more than first time up over hurdles when fourth of 15 in 2m maiden at Ballinrobe last month, running on. Longer trip promises to suit and could well be involved at the business end.

God Help Me (G)
Offered something to work on when fourth of 18 at Navan (2m) on hurdling debut in March 2025. Well held both starts since however, including back in this sphere on first outing for current yard at aforementioned track in September.

Tribal Moon (G)
Fairly useful Flat winner who shaped better than first time up over hurdles when seventh of 12 in maiden at Downpatrick (2¾m, good to firm) 12 days ago. Flat form provides hope for better still and he must enter calculations.
