Form & Verdict

Improved with each start in points, getting off the mark at the fifth attempt with wide margin success; will need to step up on that level of form though.

Form & Verdict

Only beaten half a length in a point at Broughshane in May prior to selling for £120,000 later that month; form from that contest has been boosted since, including by the winner who has won under Rules subsequently and this half-brother to Wholestone rates as a fascinating contender.

Third of five beaten roughly 9l in a Fairyhouse bumper on debut last month; looked green and should progress but others have achieved more.
