Form & Verdict

18-race maiden was second in C&D handicap in February and been running quite well on turf lately including keeping-on fourth over 7f at Listowel on Tuesday; blinkers used for first time then are retained and this is a good opportunity.

Form & Verdict

Expensive yearling had two runs for Aidan O'Brien in the spring; weakened over 7f on debut here and not far off the placed horses when fourth to easy winner in 5f Navan maiden; acquired for 8,000gns in July; gelded and cheekpieces added to tongue-tie.
