9st 5lb

J: Wayne Lordan

T: A P O’Brien

Won a maiden at Naas (5f, good) last month on second outing; well beaten in the Group 3 Marble Hill since but was unsuited by the step up to 6f (failed to settle and weakened); top trainer won this in 2015, 2019 and 2022, and he retains potential now back down in trip; chance.

Beaten by a filly from the Murray/Aguiar team on debut at Dundalk; showed the benefit of that run when winning the 5f Naas event that served as a prelude to Little Big Bear's progression into a top-class juvenile for Ballydoyle in 20022.
