Races CRS Listowel - IRE

Doesn't look likely in this after being well held at long odds in last two. Hard to enthuse today.

Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 38 lengths into seventh in a bumper (4023m) at Clonmel. Before that first-up run he transferred to the R Donohoe stable. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.

Has not raced since kicking off his career eight months in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Punchestown when beaten 28 lengths into third. Shows promise and worth including.

Was very good when returning from a 368-day layoff most recently, winning in a point to point (4828m) at Curraghmore P2p by 2.5 lengths. Has the ability to test the top fancies.

Second career start today after finishing tenth in a hurdle (4928m) at Cork. Looks tested with further improvement.

Returned from a spell last start with a modest sixth in a bumper (3419m) at Killarney. Has ability and strips fitter. Worth including.

He has been easily accounted for in each of his seven career outings. May be suited by the longer distance but not doing enough to be considered.

Just the one win in three starts but has filled the frame every start this preparation. Can open winning account this time.

Made little impression on debut in a maiden hurdle (5029m) at Tipperary when unwanted in the market. Can improve but will need to.

Has failed to make an impact recently, last time out beaten 21 lengths when seventh over 3922m in a hurdle at Clonmel. Has the ability to turn things around.

Resumed after a spell last start with a modest fourth in a novice hurdle (4023m) at Killarney. Before that first-up run he transferred to the P J Rothwell yard. Key runner who is expected to feature.

Made debut as a long shot in a hurdle (4928m) at Cork and was comfortably beaten. Better for the run but looks tested this line-up.

Has failed to finish the race at his last two outings, most recently in a point to point (4828m) at Ballyknock P2p. Confidence may have taken a hit.

Was unplaced two back in a bumper (3822m) at Punchestown. Atoned for that run last time to finish second in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Kilbeggan, beaten 2.25 lengths. Tough to stop.

Ran an improved race to finish in the minors at second outing but no match for the winner when third and beaten 5 lengths in a at Stradbally P2p. Should be improved but place appears best again.

Comes here 21 days after a 18 length eighth first-up in a hurdle (3520m) at Cork at just his second day at the races. Plenty of scope for improvement.

Saluted in a point to point (4828m) at Ballycrystal P2p on debut two runs ago then couldn't repeat the dose last start when he finished eighth in a bumper (3621m) at Tipperary, beaten 14 lengths. Well-placed to bounce back to winning ways.
