Verdict

SHADOW PADDY won back-to-back handicap hurdles before a disappointing run at Killarney and is well worth another chance with his previous form working out well. Timeless Treaty remains open to improvement making his handicap debut over this longer trip, while Montecam shaped encouragingly on first run for a new yard here in July and completes the shortlist.

In-and-out hurdler who finished fifth of 18 at Galway (11/1) 24 days ago, racing off the pace, outpaced two out before rallying late. Might be seen to better effect if raced more prominently.

Won maiden and novice hurdles on first two starts. Fifth of 7 in listed hurdle at Galway (9/1) 29 days ago when unable to improve further stepping up in grade. Remains with potential, especially now making handicap debut over this longer trip which past form suggest will suit.

Verdict
Won back-to-back handicap hurdles at Tipperary and Limerick in May. Disappointing tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (9/2) 41 days ago when failing to complete the hat-trick. Previously one to follow, well worth another chance after that blip.

Has shown fair recent hurdle form, including third at Warwick and fifth of 15 at this course (16/1) 53 days ago when doing too much too soon for new stable. May benefit from this shorter trip.
