Progressive and consistent, maiden ran fine race at Naas Thursday when only 4s off 70; hard to keep out of the frame now but has a bit to find with Texas Boy; can lead; blinkers.

Form & Verdict

In and out in maidens (behind Approaching Bear at Down Royal); last horse off the bit at Naas but, having pulled his way to lead from horrible draw, he faded near the wire (stiff 1m); crack apprentice stays loyal, should again beat Approaching Bear and perhaps the rest too; trainer had 14s second with maiden runner Friday.
