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.

J: Luke Morris

T: Jim & Suzi Best

5yo who was inconsistent during light career in Ireland for Willie McCreery but he won a 9.5f turf maiden at Clonmel last September; has changed hands since and been gelded; not discounted in a first-time tongue-tie on stable debut, and market support would pique greater interest.

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.

Flopped on AW last time; previously runner-up in five consecutive Flat maidens, at distances ranging from a little over 1m1f to 1m5f; 72-rated filly looks vulnerable faced with a couple of higher-rated younger rivals.

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.
