Maverick Mack (G)
Came on plenty for his sole outing in bumpers when winning 18-runner maiden at Gowran (16.1f, heavy, 10/1) on hurdles bow 21 days ago. Sure to progress.

L' Evangeliste (G)

Confirmed hurdling debut promise when winning 9-runner maiden at Galway (16.4f, good to soft) 35 days ago, drawing clear from 2 out. Open to further improvement.

Court Canyon (G)
Modest form on the second of 2 bumper runs and made a successful hurdling debut in 12-runner maiden at Clonmel (20.2f, good to soft, 4/6) 58 days ago, always holding on. That was a weak race however, and much more will be needed now steppi…

Kamino Bello (G)
Left an underwhelming run in a Fairyhouse bumper well behind when running out a clear-cut winner of 13-runner maiden hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good) in May, easily. Off 6 months but better to come.

Some Song (G)
Won sole start in points and followed up in Down Royal maiden (22.5f) on Rules debut 29 days ago, albeit in fortuitous circumstances. Likely to improve.

Chase The Moon (G)
Fell sole outing in points but did well to make a successful hurdling debut in 16-runner maiden at Gowran (16.1f, heavy) 21 days ago, well on top finish after being shuffled back home turn. Open to improvement.

Gin Tonic (G)
Runner-up sole outing in points and made a successful hurdling debut in 12-runner maiden at Wexford (20f, soft) 34 days ago, having run of race. This is much tougher but entitled to progress.

Young Churchill (G)
[H1]
Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 1½m), below best in 2025. Fair form over hurdles, returning to something like debut form to win 12-runner maiden at Roscommon (15.9f) in July, outstaying rivals. First run for yard after leaving Noel Mea…
