Left William Haggas for 25,000gns having shown ability on the Flat (0-6; runner-up over 1m4f and 2m); posted an encouraging effort on stable/hurdles debut at Market Rasen (2m, soft; 28-1 runner-up, splitting Henderson and Murphy runners); this rates as a suitable next objective.

Form & Verdict

Poor combined strike-rate (1-35) for Jim Bolger and Eoin Doyle; didn't appear to take positively to chasing, but possibilities on best hurdle efforts, namely a third of 22 at Punchestown (2m maiden; May 2022); market check advised on first start for Olly Murphy.

Irish raider who has very modest 1-34 career strike-rate and has largely been out of form this year; belied 66-1 odds when keeping on to snatch second in recent Thurles beginners' chase (2m2f, soft) but his overall profile remains unconvincing.

Capable Flat performer who once reached a mark in the mid-to-high 80s; no win since 2021 (2-24) and probably hasn't fully fired (0-2) in 2024; does stay well though and handles most conditions (including soft); merits consideration on hurdles debut.

Showed precious little in bumpers (0-3) and was last of five on the Flat at Newcastle (12.5f AW maiden; 66-1) a fortnight ago; switches to hurdles with plenty to prove; better to look elsewhere for the solution.

100,000euros 3yo; third foal from an unraced half-sister to various winners, including the bumper/smart 2m4f-2m6f hurdler Medinas; doubly represented trainer Stuart Crawford has operated a 15% Perth strike-rate over the last five years; hood and tongue-tie on for debut; interesting.
