Form & Verdict
Very promising Curragh debut in 2024 when 0.5l behind subsequent Dewhurst runner-up Expanded; beaten 1l in a Gowran maiden in April last year on seasonal return (1m, yielding); decent fourth in a 1m1f Leopardstown maiden when last seen in August (good); gelded since then and top chance if sufficiently ready.

Concerning that he has failed to build on his debut second behind two Aidan O'Brien-trained colts in a 7f juvenile maiden at the Curragh; ran only twice last season, and his best effort was when second at Gowran on the first occasion; same pattern this season, fair second at Dundalk before falling to improve at Gowran, perhaps a tongue-tie will make the difference

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced maiden went close in two January maiden runs, behind an experienced sort over 1m4f and only caught late on by a neck over 10.5f in first-time cheekpieces; something surely amiss when tailed off in a 1m4f handicap last time (reported to be post race normal); tries this shorter trip for the first time, but thereabouts at his best.
