Couple of fair efforts in bumpers; ran well on hurdles debut when beaten 17.5l by Hey Now at Sligo 25 days ago; shaped as if in need of further so drop in trip not ideal.

Decent bumper form and improved a bit on hurdles debut after lay-off to be beaten 1l into third by Figero at Kilbeggan 22 days ago for new stable, running on well; form of that can be questioned but he should step forward for that.

The Weighbridge (IRE)

Placed in one of two points; sent off a huge price in tough opening assignment at Ballinrobe 12 days ago and was beaten 30l into seventh by Daddy Long Legs in conditions hurdle; these are much calmer waters but still needs plenty more.

Evangelic (IRE)

Modest on the Flat in seven starts and didn't show anything in two recent hurdle starts to suggest he's up to winning a maiden.

Ran okay on debut in Leopardstown bumper despite finishing last of eight; being eased when very tired before slipping up 1f out at Killarney 28 days ago; last run a concern and needs to bounce back, but in good hands.

Sole win in eight Flat starts came last time out in 1m4f Roscommon handicap 19 days ago, staying on to beat subsequent winner Obscenity by 2.75l; had two prior hurdle runs at backend of last year and didn't show a huge aptitude but is in better form now and has been gelded; rated 80 on the Flat and could go well.

Useful in bumpers, scoring at tenth attempt at Kilbeggan in August, beating Red Oak by 1.25l; ran to a similar level on hurdles debut at Thurles; returned from break on stable debut to be beaten 8.5l into third by Mr Master Mac at Downpatrick 15 days ago, lack of a recent run telling after going for home early; will improve and drop in trip should suit; each-way chance in first-time hood.

Half-sister to six winners, including Chart Topper and Pink In The Park for same yard; sent off short odds on bumper debut at this track in October, won cosily by 6.5l; reportedly lost action when pulled up in Listed contest at Navan 202 days ago; should bounce back after a break; form of debut win very questionable but the one to beat on hurdles debut nonetheless; yard has won last three runnings.
