J: Seamie Heffernan

Smart 2yo form but struggled in handicaps last season; back down to a competitive mark of late, finishing well into third after meeting trouble in running at the Curragh; tame effort since at Fairyhouse however and steps up in trip.

Form & Verdict
AW maiden winner last year ran a cracker in the Irish 2000 Guineas but didn't repeat that form since; not at best on last four starts (two for this yard) but drops in class now so taken seriously.

AW maiden winner and ran a cracker in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 2023 but hasn't repeated that form since; encouraging enough comeback run (after 258-days off) at the Curragh a month ago, staying on late after not clear run; down to an enticing mark and could go well.

AW maiden winner and ran a cracker in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 2023 but hasn't repeated that form since although solid run in Naas Listed last year; reappears for new yard off much reduced mark (23lb below career-high) and interesting to see if new yard can exploit it.
