Form & Verdict

Modest form in maidens but it was a major step forward when beaten a neck at Gowran on handicap debut last week with first-time cheekpieces on (retained); gave the impression he was still a bit green and should improve but he's up 6lb and may not appreciate the drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict

Winner of a Dundalk maiden in February and was a big eyecatcher over C&D last month when just in front of Nikki Swango; not as good at Cork since but that was over 5f and a return to this C&D will suit; tongue-tie on.

Form & Verdict

Off the mark in a Cork maiden on return and followed a close up fourth on handicap debut with a neck defeat at in a Fairyhouse handicap 12 days ago; didn't get away cleanly and should be firmly in the mix again, despite 6lb rise.
