Just a Cork maiden win last year to his tally, but has performed with credit this season; excellent second in the 25-runner Bold Lad last month (splitting My Mate Alfie and Tango Flare); improved again when third behind My Mate Alfie and Big Gossey last time; has a 7lb turnaround with the year-younger winner. |

Found a surge of improvement at Dundalk last autumn for Ger Lyons, winning 7f handicap, and after a big-money sale she ran respectably when seventh in Kempton Listed race (1m) last month; not ruled out completely but she needs to improve even on her best AW form now back on turf. |

Found a surge of improvement switched to the AW at Dundalk last autumn for Ger Lyons, winning a 7f handicap in October and creating a positive impression in a Listed event at 1m the following month, strong at the finish on her first crack at the trip; sold for 300,000gns in December; could well have more to come for her new connections; interesting despite a penalty. |

Third behind Tahiyra in last season's Moyglare; too keen in the Irish 1,000 Guineas on return; off the mark with a wide-margin maiden win at Naas three weeks ago on her third start of the season; may continue to prosper with her confidence boosted. |
