Form & Verdict
Cost 200,000gns at the Craven Breeze-Up; he got no run in the straight when fourth over C&D on debut, finishing 4l behind the reopposing Scorthy Champ; didn't need to improve when winning at the Curragh (7f, good) in June (had Swagman behind) and he should run a solid race again.

Hotazhell

9st 9lb

J: Shane Foley

T: Mrs John Harrington

Group 1 winner as a 2yo; came up dry in 3yo season but plenty of good runs in defeat, including when placing in the 2000 Guineas here (1m, good); has a tendency to race keenly at times, as he did when beaten a nose dropped to Listed company on seasonal return at Navan (1m1f, good), splitting Isaac Newton and Geryon; cheekpieces look a good addition and he should go well again.

Hotazhell

9st 9lb

J: Shane Foley

T: Mrs John Harrington

Ended his 2yo campaign with a Group 1 win, beating Delacroix in the William Hill Futurity; no wins last year, but managed a fine third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and a fair fourth in the Irish Champion Stakes (1m2f); too keen when attempting 1m4f in the Arc; can win races at four and this appeals as a suitable starting point if his fitness holds up.

Sent off at odds of 20-1, he stayed on powerfully in the closing stages when winning at the Curragh on debut (6f, good); has plenty of stamina in the pedigree and the stable is among the winners of late; needs to take another step forward now but he looks above-average.

Won a 6f Curragh maiden (good) on debut; has run creditably without winning in stakes company since; beaten 4.5l on first try at 1m in a listed race at the Curragh on seasonal comeback two weeks ago; should improve for that and not discounted on handicap debut.

Surprise debut winner of 6f maiden here last summer but bit exposed in stakes company afterwards, each time staying on as if a step up in trip will suit (not clear run at Dundalk final start); gelded over the winter and step up in trip should suit but others may have greater scope for improvement.

Met trouble in running when third at Gowran Park (7f, good) on debut; was narrowly denied in a thrilling photo-finish when third behind Swagman at Naas (7f, good) this month; he's well worth his place in the lineup but doesn't have the same scope for improvement as some of his rivals.

Twice placed at two; missed all of last year; second in two turf maidens this year, and also a fair fifth of 16 in a competitive handicap at Cork; a bit too keen when not quite failing to match his best form on AW debut at Dundalk last month; good overall credentials for this.

Twice finished third at two and missed all of last year; first two runs this term were good, including fifth in decent handicap at Cork; in first-time blinkers, was no match for a patiently-ridden winner after trying to make all at Ballinrobe; first go on Polytrack and related to AW winners.

Rated 85; has returned from mammoth layoff with encouraging runs in a Gowran maiden (Cracking Cloud a nose behind) and in a handicap at Cork (10.5f, gd-yld); should be thereabouts returned to maiden company in first-time blinkers.
