9st 4lb |
Third runner for yard; impressive Curragh maiden winner on his second start as a 2yo; improved from his seasonal reappearance to win the Group 3 Derby Trial over 1m2f here, then was a fine third in the big race itself; however, he was poor in the Irish Derby and has been gelded in the meantime; needs a return to his best. |

Second start at two yielded a 6l course 1m win on heavy; never able to challenge on return in the Group 3 Ballysax won by Christmas Day; stepped up on that when staying on strongly to beat Pierre Bonnard in the Derby Trial over the same course and trip; coltish in the preliminaries at Epsom; did well in the circumstances to finish third (second-best of the Irish contingent); seems ground-versatile and likely to appreciate this stiff test. |

Second start as 2yo was a 6l win in Curragh maiden (1m, heavy); never able to challenge on return in the Group 3 Ballysax won by Christmas Day and couldn't have left it any later in the Derby Trial back over Leopardstown's 1m2f (good) four weeks ago, but upstaging Pierre Bonnard so dramatically in the latter reinforces the feeling that 1m4f will suit him well; his sire's sole Group 1 win was at this trip; each-way player for trainer and jockey who won the Oaks yesterday. |

Runner-up to notable rivals on first two starts before winning 1m4f maiden at Leopardstown (good) in May; well beaten when favourite on handicap debut in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) but he raced in the rear and things didn't go his way tactically; Irish stable won this last year and he might be worth another chance. |

12 races this year and she had been consistent and progressive before not giving herself a chance at York (behind Pendella) by racing with the choke out; admirably versatile trip-wise (from 7f to 1m4f) and goes on all ground; if back to her best then wouldn't be far away. |
