Form & Verdict

Son of Papal Bull is a second foal; dam third in a bumper, half-sister to point winner Ardkilly Celt, out of 1m winning half-sister to 1m5f Group 2 winner Lochbuie; probably best watched on debut unless the market speaks in his favour.

Form & Verdict

0-4 over hurdles but has shown ability and is rated 116; solid effort when 12l behind Koktail Divin at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding) on penultimate; fell on latest at Navan; sets the standard here and should be hard to beat if handling the quicker ground (dam won on good).
