Form & Verdict
Experienced colt finished runner-up in 2yo maidens both here and at Roscommon and again found one too good on seasonal return at Gowran last month, finishing a clear second to a race-fit odds-on winner; return to 1m to suit and handles ground; big chance.

Touched off in a Dundalk maiden this month, following a couple of decent enough efforts in juvenile maiden hurdles; more needed here and likely to fare better in handicaps in the near future.

Was runner-up in turf maidens over 1m and 1m2.5f last year; not as effective in four maiden hurdles since but would have a leading chance if handling this surface; yard remains in fine form.

Form & Verdict
Solid if not especially progressive 2yo form on soft/heavy; very disappointing seasonal return dropped to 6f at the Curragh last month, plenty of early speed on unfavoured far side (one of only two to race that side) before fading badly (reportedly lost left-fore shoe); now upped in trip and the No Nay Never colt races on much quicker ground but plenty of questions to answer at this stage.

Not progressive in maidens following debut third behind stablemate Henry Longfellow here last July; belatedly opened his account in modest company at Gowran 13 days ago; that was his first time on good ground, and it seemed to bring out the best in him.
