      Verdict

      ELIODAM hasn't lived up to expectations on either start to date (still green when falling on hurdles bow latest) but this looks a winnable maiden and he may prove a different proposition over a markedly longer trip. Blow Wind Blow is bred to stay well and he's another likely improver now faced with a greater test of stamina.

      €125,000 3-y-o. Fell short of market expectations in valuable bumper on debut and still looked green (wandered approaching flights) before falling fifth in maiden at Thurles (16.1f) on hurdling debut. In excellent hands and may do better upped markedly in distance.

      Has shown some promise in 2m maidens (well held 50/1 at Naas latest) but appeals as the type to do better now upped markedly in trip (brother stayed 3m). One for the shortlist.

      Albus (Ire) silk

      Too free on debut and took a step backwards when 50/1, eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.3f, heavy) 17 days ago. Upped in trip but could be a longer-term project for top yard.
