Form & Verdict
Touched off by Promo Queen at the Curragh last year and again ran well in a Navan nursery won by subsequent Birdcatcher winner Glamorously; ran no race at Dundalk subsequently; trip and ground in his favour here though and likely to be a factor.

No success since Cork (7f, heavy) in March 2024; continues to drop in the ratings, and is now 20lb lower than his winning mark; two runs this term not exactly persuasive; a top apprentice booked.

No success since winning well at Cork (7f, heavy) in March 2024; shaped well at Down Royal last May and 6f was too sharp on first run back at Navan last month; on a dangerous mark if rediscovers best with blinkers back on.

Won well over 7f on heavy ground at Cork at the start of the 2024 season; has never managed to replicate that form; now 16lb below his winning mark; possible chance if the addition of cheekpieces makes a difference.

Sole win from 25 starts came at Navan in a maiden claimer in 2023 over 1m; highly tried at this venue earlier this year with her best effort being a 1.75l third over 1m4f; poor in five runs at this track following that and tailed off when attempting hurdles for the first time at Cartmel last time; tongue-tie now added to hood.
