Form & Verdict
Boasts a number of big-race entries and got off the mark with a taking 10l success on yielding to soft at Galway, posting a very smart RPR in the process; this looks a good stepping stone to better things.

9st 3lb

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Dual winner at two is a useful colt but it's been tricky to find a spot for him this term; runner-up in Group 3 at the Curragh in May and placed in Listed contest at Deauville in August, both times over this trip, and not shamed in very valuable Grade 3 at Kentucky Downs last time when tried in cheekpieces (left off here); handles easy ground well and should be involved.

Two easy 2yo wins (minor races) and runner-up in Group 3 Gallinule Stakes at the Curragh (1m2f, good to yielding) last month; however, he was no match for the winner and doesn't appear to be progressing; something to find.

Form & Verdict
Not helped by the rider losing an iron on exiting the stalls at the Curragh (7f, good) but there were positives to take from how he ran on in the closing stages (beaten 12l); could well be capable of better.

Markedly progressive overall when trained by Natalia Lupini in Northern Ireland, rounding it off with an always-prominent fourth of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm); changed hands before a respectable show at Goodwood ten weeks ago; while going beyond 1m6f for the first time looks worth a go, it's hard to know whether it will help sufficiently to win this top handicap.

Markedly progressive overall trained by Natalia Lupini in Northern Ireland, rounding it off on last two outings with fourth of six in slowly run Listed race at Navan (1m6f, soft) in April and always-prominent fourth of 16 in handicap at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm); changed hands since; respected.

Progressive 3yo last year, close third in Listed race at Leopardstown (1m6f, good) in August and fifth of 22 in handicap there (1m5f, good) in September when on the wrong end of a pace bias; fair fourth of six in slowly run Group 3 in April; could run on to good effect if getting a strong gallop.

Five Flat wins in UK and ran respectably in two autumn Flat starts for this yard after 100,000gns purchase; previous efforts over hurdles were modest but there was promise in his run at Down Royal (2m2f, good) earlier this month when staying on for fourth; entitled to improve over that return; contender.

Five Flat wins in UK and ran respectably both starts for this yard last autumn after 100,000gns purchase; just modest form both hurdle runs in UK, but could do better now that he is more mature; check for market strength.
