Form & Verdict

Posted three decent Dundalk runs over the winter without really progressing; has a fair bit of ground to make up on Nautical Force and Arouet from his Cork turf debut, though this better ground might help.

Form & Verdict

Hasn't always looked the most straightforward but has ability; won a maiden at this track last year and has kept good company since; solid both starts this term on soft over 1m but faster ground and up in trip should suit; not yard's first-string but can't be ruled out.

Form & Verdict

Was only 1l behind Dee Stakes winner Lambourn on debut at Killarney last summer before running creditably in French Listed company; off the mark in a Curragh maiden (1m) final start; should stay this trip and seems the stable selected of three runners on return; a player.
