Form & Verdict
Looked green when third of eight at the Curragh 12 days ago but seemed to be getting the hang of things late; that experience could be a major factor against a field of unraced 2yos and has to be high on the shortlist.

Juvenile winner for Jim Bolger (Cork, 5f maiden, heavy); disappointing since joining this trainer (0-6), falling 20lb in the weights; slowly away and never involved at Thirsk (6f, good; 40-1) latest; hard to recommend now returning to 7f.

Dropping down the weights and his latest Pontefract fifth was marginally more encouraging; more required back up in class though.

Thrown in on his form for Jim Bolger but he has finished down the field in four runs for new connections, weakening over 7f and 6f; the return of a tongue tie may help, as will the drop into a Class 6, so not discounted back at 5f for the owners who took this race 12 months ago.

Hard to assess but arguably her best run was on debut at Cork on heavy ground so this surface might not suit; only a respectable run at the Curragh on handicap debut last month; first-time blinkers.

Got handicapped in sprint maidens; tailed off on handicap debut over 7.5f in August; half-brother to pair of 1m2f winners, but has to be a doubtful stayer over this far; back with original trainer.
