Form & Verdict
Made the frame twice in maidens; 7l in front of Eyeeye when third at Killarney in July; fair fourth at Dundalk and a satisfactory mid-field run on his handicap debut at the Curragh; likely to find Stariam too good.

soon raced in second, chased clear leader before halfway, pressed leader on outer over 2f out, soon challenging and ridden, joined leader when drifted left inside final furlong, led towards near side when kept on well towards finish, readily

Was having only second career start when 8l third behind an odds-on shot over 1m at Killarney last month; failed to improve on that at Dundalk; still possible he can slot into handicaps effectively.

Was having only second career start when encouraging third to an odds-on shot over 1m at Killarney last month, having shown early speed; drop back to 7f could suit on AW debut.

Form & Verdict
Stands out on the strength of second behind the excellent Ebor winner Magical Zoe in a maiden at Down Royal on penultimate start; slight concern that she took the runner-up spot for a fourth time when edged out by Surprise Package at Ballinrobe, but she faces nothing of the calibre of that useful performer now; cheekpieces should help.

Went very close in a 7f handicap at Cork in May; more recent form does not inspire confidence; would be a surprise winner at these weights.

Had no chance on the ratings last time at Tipperary and surely flattered to be a fairly close third in a field of four; has threatened in handicaps though so can't be dismissed.
