Form & Verdict

Made an encouraging debut when stating on for fourth of 19 behind the Aidan O'Brien-trained Ides Of March at the Curragh; form is working out, the winner followed up in a Group 3 race, runner-up Monumental has won a maiden and the third has been Listed-placed; has an edge over Winter Bonfire.
