Form & Verdict

Slowly away on debut at Ballinrobe (9.5f, good) but finished off well for a 1.75l third; fine second at Galway (yielding) on first try at this trip on latest when just behind Dark Oak who has since run a big race off 78 in a Listowel handicap; leading form claims.

Form & Verdict

Has gone close in a couple of maidens; beaten a head at Ballinrobe in June (9.5f, good); was just 0.5l behind the winner when runner-up at Punchestown (1m1f, good) on latest (Strolling behind); now tries softer ground and a longer trip; definite claims if handling the easier underfoot conditions.

Form & Verdict

Hasn't shown a whole lot in a couple of maidens at 1m2f-1m6f so far; however, both those runs came on good ground and he is related to winners on soft; cheekpieces go on and he could potentially improve on this more forgiving surface; not dismissed.

Form & Verdict

Rated 79; minor promise in first three starts; back from a mid-season break with fine efforts at the Curragh (1m2f) and over this trip at Listowel, both on good ground; yet to encounter soft but has leading form claims if handling it; Colin Keane a positive booking.
