3	Fairly useful Flat winner. Would have made a successful hurdling debut had he cleared the final flight safely at Listowel (2½m) before overdoing things at Cartmel subsequently (17f). This track should suit his free-going nature better and benefits from a first-time hood. Looks the one to beat. 1st Pick 3 Speed For Fun (Fr) Jockey: B. Hayes Trainer: W. P. Mullins, Ireland J: B.

4	Sent off favourite but keenness compromised his finishing effort when 7¾ lengths fourth in Ballinrobe bumper on debut. Interesting now sent hurdling by excellent yard (half-brother to fairly useful hurdler). 2nd Pick 4 Ballybollen Jockey: D. J. O'keeffe Trainer: Henry De Bromhead, Ireland J: D. J.

10	Fairly useful middle-distance handicapper on Flat for Charlie Fellowes. Showed promise when beaten 4¼ lengths in handicap at Galway Festival (1½m) on reappearance/stable debut. Likely type now sent hurdling by top yard. 3rd Pick 10 Ivatt Jockey: Danny Gilligan Trainer: Gordon Elliott, Ireland J: Danny Gilligan T: Gordon Elliott, Ireland	0	-	-	-	34%
