Form & Verdict

Showed promise in Britain earlier in the year and it was a creditable effort when runner-up in a C&D maiden on yard debut three weeks ago; entitled to build on that first start in four months.

Form & Verdict

Beaten roughly 6l when 80-1 for his debut over this C&D three weeks ago; the form has a solid enough look to it and he's entitled to build on that; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict

Modest bumper form but has shown more ability in a couple of starts on the Flat so far, beaten 2l at Cork before finishing runner-up in a Gowran maiden when last seen; warrants respect on AW bow.
