Direct Approach (G)
Fair but temperamental maiden on the Flat for Donnacha O'Brien. Signs of ability in maiden hurdles for Gordon Elliott in recent weeks and could have more to offer in handicaps.

A hurdle/chase winner in 2024/25 but has lost form since, including pulling up over fences latest. Hard to make a case for at present.

Left previous hurdle efforts behind when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (2m, good, 8/1) 18 days ago. Another bold show likely.

Showed a bit in juvenile hurdles this time last year and has done well in low-grade handicaps on the Flat this year, including a Leopardstown win. Interesting on his first handicap in this sphere.

Little form, including well held in 2 handicaps in the spring. First-time cheekpieces need to spark improvement back from 105 days off.

Improved to win 16-runner handicap hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft, 6/1) 23 days ago by 3¾ lengths from Surviving Murmansk. Merits consideration off 6 lb higher.

Best effort over hurdles when fourth of 15 in handicap at Ballinrobe (2m, good) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly with Darragh O'Keeffe taking the reins.

Hard to get too excited by recent Flat efforts and he fell too far out to predict where he'd have finished in a handicap hurdle at Cork at the beginning of this month.
