Form & Verdict
Flat maiden for Sir Michael Stoute but a much better hurdler already; did well to win on debut at Listowel against a more experienced rival (awarded race) and was impressive when running away with a Punchestown event since; should take beating.

Showed some promise on sole Flat run at the Curragh; sent straight over hurdles and won a Killarney maiden in July despite showing signs of inexperience; there are mixed messages from the form and this is his first run since but he should be closely involved.

Seen only one since winning Sligo beginners' chase (2m1f, good) for Joseph O'Brien in October 2024, when pulled up in Haydock handicap for James Moffatt in November; tricky to weigh up on debut for latest new stable but was given a wind operation in January and market support will pique interest.

12-race maiden has come closest when neck second over C&D on penultimate run (good); put in another good performance here prior to that when third here; pulled up latest at Wexford but if she is to make the breakthrough it is likely to come here and blinkers can help, although soft ground a concern.
