Eliodam
ELIODAM hasn't lived up to expectations on either start to date (still green when falling on hurdles bow latest) but this looks a winnable maiden and he may prove a different proposition over a markedly longer trip. Blow Wind Blow is bred to stay well and he's another likely improver now faced with a greater test of stamina.

€125,000 3-y-o. Fell short of market expectations in valuable bumper on debut and still looked green (wandered approaching flights) before falling fifth in maiden at Thurles (16.1f) on hurdling debut. In excellent hands and may do better upped markedly in distance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosThurles2m 26yYielding to SoftHurdleF/13Fairyhouse2mSoft to HeavyBumper12/17- 2Blow Wind BlowJ: M. P.

Has shown some promise in 2m maidens (well held 50/1 at Naas latest) but appeals as the type to do better now upped markedly in trip (brother stayed 3m).

Too free on debut and took a step backwards when 50/1, eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.3f, heavy) 17 days ago. Upped in trip but could be a longer-term project for top yard.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPunchestown2m 3f 73ySoft to HeavyHurdle8/14Down Royal2m 4f 15yYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle9/18- 8MatilaunaJ: Phillip EnrightT: Gillian Scott, Ireland0666Age 618/118/116/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 15 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Limerick (19f, heavy) 31 days ago. Will be better off when handicapping but this longer trip could be in her favour.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLimerick2m 3fSoft to HeavyHurdle6/15Limerick2m 70yYielding to SoftHurdle6/11Listowel2m 2fGood to YieldingHurdle6/11Ballinrobe2m 1f 215ySoftHurdle12/14- 10Shuil SwiftJ: Mr A.

Has shaped like a handicap project in maidens to date. Found race coming too soon when pulled up at Limerick (19f, heavy) 31 days ago.

Thrice-raced maiden looks to be being brought along steadily, 150/1, ninth of 17 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.9f, heavy) 21 days ago. Likely one for handicaps but worth a second look in betting now significantly up in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosClonmel2m 202yHeavy (Soft to Heavy in places)Hurdle9/17Limerick2mSoft to HeavyHurdle11/18Cork2m 200ySoft to HeavyHurdle6/19- 6SacramentalJ: T.

Well held in a pair of bumpers and made an inauspicious start to his hurdling career in first-time tongue strap (retained) at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy), behind when fell last.

Went backwards from promising bumper debut when fifth of 6 in bumper (18/1) at Limerick (19f, heavy) on final start for P. O'Rourke.
