Form & Verdict

Landed gamble from for Eddie Lenihan on nursery debut at Killarney last summer and maintained progress on seasonal return for new yard when second to a hotpot in Navan premier handicap in June (1m2f, good); 1m5f trip looked beyond him in Ulster Derby latest and big drop in trip here; form is on better ground.

Form & Verdict

Plenty of promise on sole 2yo start at Killarney (soft) and reappeared at same venue to win maiden over today's trip last month, asserting late on to win a shade snugly; looks as though he'll stay further so this stiffer test should suit; opening mark looks on the high side but rider's claim brings him into it.

Form & Verdict

Promise of sole 2yo run hasn't been built on in two starts this term although useful enough form at both Cork and Listowel; has been gelded since and cheekpieces now fitted for handicap debut.
