Form & Verdict

Purchased for 85,000gns after Irish point win; close second here (2m) on rules debut then went one better with a half-length success at Chepstow (2m3f, soft); solid record thus far and should be capable of further progress; holds Supreme/Ballymore entries; respected.

Form & Verdict

Showed a fair level of ability in three races on soft/heavy last winter, notably a success in bumper (debut) and close second in 2m3f novice hurdle, both at Warwick; still unexposed and looks a nice prospect for Deborah Cole; bang there on ratings.

Form & Verdict

Only fifth under a penalty at Warwick (2m5f, soft) when last seen, albeit in quite a useful race; progressive form otherwise, including wins in Doncaster bumper and Ffos Las novice hurdle; nicely bred and should still have more to offer; remains of interest.

Showed promise in Irish point (3m, soft) three months ago, finishing second; bred to be well suited by this scenario on rules debut, being half-brother to a dual 2m5f hurdle winner; interesting.
