Brother to last year's top-class sprinting juvenile Blackbeard; no match for a smart sort on Navan debut last month before landing odds in C&D conditions event under a positive ride when beating subsequent Queen Mary second Mighty Eriu, still green; looks the type to improve further and fitted with cheekpieces here; Ballydoyle pick and a big player if handling softer conditions.

Mighty Eriu

Probably beaten by a smart colt from Ballydoyle at the Curragh (6f, good) and she looked a threat before flattening out late on; looks to have the raw speed for 5f and she's since been snapped up by high-profile owners; could be a lively one for a yard that won this in 2021.

Creditable third over C&D on her debut and the runner-up was second in the Queen Mary next time but this filly has struggled twice since at 7f; return to 6f needs to spark a revival.
