Obtained early experience in good company when last of five in a 5f Listed event at the Curragh won by the brilliant Blackbeard; shaped well in the late-autumn with third placings in a Curragh maiden and 5f course nursery; confirmed promise when beating Almendares last month; sets the standard now

Off the mark at the fourth attempt in a Dundalk maiden and has run well in defeat twice since; 4lb lower than his latest outing at Cork and should relish a return to 6f.

Left his previous form behind when justifying favouritism in a 6f Dundalk maiden in February and ran to a similar level when third over the same C&D last time; gives the impression 5f will be fine and not on a bad mark.

Made all for 7f course maiden win in December on her second start; decent run behind the promising Song For Whoever over this trip last time; capable of holding her own against the other winners.
