Verdict

BOSTON JURY arrives on an upward trajectory having shaped with plenty of promise when third on reappearance at Ballinrobe and there could be further improvement to come over this longer trip. He's preferred to fellow improver Aspurofthemoment who arrives in search of a 4-timer, while Meet My Loreley may leave behind his comeback run now stepped up in distance.

Verdict
Has proved a different model since joining current connections, progressing rapidly in two victorious hurdles starts prior to landing the hat-trick over fences when winning 12-runner beginners chase at Kilbeggan (20.4f) on debut over fences 34 days ago. Open to improvement back over hurdles.

Backed up promising handicap debut when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle (7/1) at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 49 days ago, always holding on. Unlikely that we've seen the best of him yet.

Improving sort was off the mark at Downpatrick (20f) last August and showed improved form on seasonal reappearance when third (second has won since) in a 13-runner handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.3f, good, 7/1) 39 days ago. On the up and there could be further progress to come.

Verdict
Winner of a novice handicap hurdle at Down Royal in April. Possibly found race coming too seen when 14/1, below form eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.5f, good) 27 days ago. Worth another go at this longer trip.

Failed to build on promise shown on stable debut when seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Killarney (20.2f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Upped in trip with cheekpieces applied for first time (tongue tie also refitted). Something to prove.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023 and looks to be going through the motions at present, 12/1, fourth of 6 in a beginners chase at Roscommon (25.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles with something to prove.

Below form penultimate start but best to judged too harshly on latest thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Listowel (20.4f, good to firm) 35 days ago, doing too much too soon. Up in trip with cheekpieces back on and interesting to see if market hints at a revival.
