Form & Verdict
Best of three runs was when fourth (didn't get a clear run) in a Roscommon maiden over 7.5f; the second that day won at the Curragh last weekend, so the form is solid; wasn't as effective on soft at Gowran last time but is of interest on nursery debut.

Form & Verdict
Best of three runs was when third in a Leopardstown maiden, a race that has worked out well enough formwise; however, she was well below form on soft ground at Tipperary since and has to rebound.

Maiden has been mostly consistent in defeat; placed on last three starts, including when second of 17 over 6f at this venue; similarly effective when stepped up to 7f at Cork last time; edging up in the ratings but every chance he can reach the money again.
