Useful gelding. 11/2, won 13-runner handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (24.5f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time on the Flat (on when winning over jumps). Sets a high standard.
Twice-raced maiden on Flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in maiden at Roscommon (12.2f, heavy, 125/1) 3 days ago. Significantly up in trip.
Once-raced maiden on Flat. Smart winner at 21f in chases. Pulled up in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (20.2f, good to soft, 5/1) 67 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, poor on last Flat run.
Modest gelding. Eleventh of 12 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) on NH debut. Off 13 months. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Matthew J. Smith.

Forecasts
Como Park (4/5), Brogue (2/1), Seddon (4/1), Rio Doce (100/1), Supreme Law (100/1)
COMO PARK was useful on the Flat prior to going jumping and, fit from a Bellewstown hurdle win last month, is taken to make a successful return to the level. Dermot Weld's Brogue is the likely danger.
