Form & Verdict
Second to a smart Ballydoyle filly (subsequent Group 3 winner) on C&D debut in August; not up to stakes level next time but returned with another creditable effort on AW when just finding a Ballydoyle colt half a length too good (third won since); well suited by this trip and the one to beat on form.
