Form & Verdict

Nicely progressive Too Darn Hot colt won his maiden here in early June before contesting 7f Group contests, clear with runner-up when landing Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown and back here in Futurity last month when second to Henri Matisse (subsequent National Stakes winner in third); every chance of staying this longer trip and sets a good standard.

Form & Verdict

Galway debut promise was fulfilled at Tipperary early this month, showing plenty of stamina when making all to beat an odds-on shot from Ballydoyle over 1m1f (pair well clear); could make a bold bid here.
