Form & Verdict
Got to the front after a couple of furlongs in Bellewstown maiden over 1m and dictated matters from there, winning readily; up 5lb for that and we all know the track bias favouring prominent racers around here so he's dangerous from trap one; was 1.5l behind Livio Milo on previous start at Naas (same terms).

Form & Verdict
Had Not Just Yet and On Our Radar behind when an emphatic winner over this trip at Leopardstown, just her second try in handicaps; 7lb hike is fair enough; dropped out in rear last time, will probably need to sit handier around here.
