Form & Verdict

Progressed nicely in each of three juvenile runs, bumping into smart Ballydoyle colts on first two before landing Listowel rated race in September, making all on heavy ground (1m); should relish middle-distances this year (Derby entered) and fitted with a tongue-tie for seasonal return.

Lope De Vega colt improved nicely in three runs at two, notably chasing home the high-class Hawk Mountain in Curragh maiden and final start outstayed long-time leader at Gowran in testing conditions, tending to hang right both occasions; Irish Derby entry looks the type to keep improving and considered.

Form & Verdict

Camelot colt is out of Group 1-winning miler Amazing Maria; successful on only 2yo start, hampered and hanging badly but doing well under a considerate ride in getting up late in 7f Naas maiden on softish ground; dual Derby entry should appreciate this step up in trip and could be anything.

Form & Verdict

Both wins last year came at 7f, in Down Royal maiden (good) and needed every yard when getting up late in Roscommon winners contest on soft, having previously finished third in very valuable Naas auction contest over inadequate 6f; didn't land a blow in Goffs Million (Curragh) final start and takes a step up in trip here on seasonal return from a yard in hot form; rider's claim negates his double penalty.
