Form & Verdict
Blue Point colt showed good speed to make virtually all on debut in Navan maiden in August (form hasn't totally worked out); reportedly unsuited by soft ground when last in Group 2 Flying Childers two months later; back on a sound surface and dropped in grade so has to be respected with likely more to offer.

Form & Verdict
0-4 on turf but has taken really well to this surface, blowing the start when close second to Scorchio (rec 9lb) in nursery and much better form when smartly away from wide draw and making all to hammer a strong favourite in 14-runner maiden last month; major player.

Form & Verdict
Filly is relishing her racing, landing second C&D nursery win on latest despite rider dropping whip, showing good attitude; good bit to find at the weights with Moral Turpitude on first win but clearly progressive and has to be respected.
