Form & Verdict

Group 3-winning two-year-old in 2024; struggled in three runs last year in stakes and handicap company; showed more and ran well for a long way from the front in Listed Heritage Stakes 7 days ago, eventually finishing eighth behind The Lion In Winter; should come on for that and step back in trip will suit; one of two for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict

Won this in 2023; consistent stakes performer with seven wins; won Heritage Stakes last season, beating Mutasarref by a neck; best subsequent effort came when fourth in Minstrel Stakes in July; two starts this season, improved from return to be beaten 3.25l behind The Lion In Winter at Leopardstown seven days ago; down in trip; mightn't want the ground too testing but shouldn't be far away and trainer has good course record.

Form & Verdict

Impressive Curragh maiden winner in August 2024; below that form early last season but finished well with a pair of third-placed finishes at the Curragh and Naas in competitive handicaps (soft and yielding) before winning conditions race on last start, beating Senna's Girl by a neck as 1-2 favourite; form of that questionable and he's not well treated at the weights here.
