0-4 on the Flat but went close in maidens at the Curragh (1m, heavy) and Bellewstown (11.5f, soft) the last twice; half-brother to a hurdles winner so should take to this game; good ground is a query, however.

Maiden hurdle winner; best Flat runs came on soft ground in the spring when second in a Curragh maiden over 1m and at Bellewstown over this trip; taken off his feet at Laytown last time over 7f; a return to his best can be expected with trip and ground in his favour; headgear now fitted and is the one to beat.

Remote third at Wexford her best finishing position; can be keen and described as 'a very difficult ride' when connections were called in by the stewards after she was fifth at Ballinrobe; after a year's absence, ran in the corresponding race at Ballinrobe last week, keen again and had weakened out of it when falling at the last; readily opposed on handicap debut.
