Form & Verdict

Chased home Derby/Eclipse winner City Of Troy on debut last year in a 7f Curragh maiden; again runner-up on reappearance at the Curragh, failing to get to grips with the front-running Super Sox over 7f; looked much closer to the finished article when landing the odds easily over 1m at the same venue; better ground should be ideal.

Form & Verdict

Won 1m3f maiden at this venue 12 months ago; made an encouraging seasonal return when close fourth in 1m4f Listed event at Cork; that was on soft, and she failed to reproduce the form on good ground over the same course and distance on her next start; has left John O'Donoghue to join Paddy Twomey who tries her with a hood now.

Home-bred Vadamos gelding is a half-brother to four winners; dam 7f AW 2yo winner, half-sister to the useful Big Time who started his career with a win for this stable and finished second in the 2013 Phoenix Stakes; in at the deep end here.

Form & Verdict

Made a winning debut over 7f on soft ground at Gowran in April; coped reasonably well with good ground and a longer trip when fourth behind the well-fancied Trustyourinstinct at the same venue on second start; however, will need to improve to trouble the winner's progressive stablemate Galen.
