Form & Verdict

Nine-race maiden knocking on the door on his recent outings, albeit no match in second spot for the winner at Roscommon (jockey reported he hung right); has the form in the book to hold his own but a shade vulnerable to one or two here with the potential to raise their games that bit more.

Form & Verdict

Hinted at a bit more to come in a Gowran maiden nine days ago, although that over a shorter test and stamina has to be considered an unknown; remains vulnerable off present mark.

Form & Verdict

Has only had three starts in maiden company, hitting the frame on the first two of them before finishing seventh of 17 runners over an extended mile at Galway latest; right up in trip here for handicap debut, but could well be ahead of his mark if his stamina holds up.
