Form & Verdict
66-1 and 100-1 for last two starts in beginners' chases when pulled up here and beaten 96l at Kilbeggan; tongue tie returns but it hasn't done much when he's worn it previously; hard to fancy stepped up markedly in trip.

A fair 2m7f-winning chaser but he was pulled up back hurdling in 3m Fairyhouse handicap in April on his final run for Thomas Cooper; cheekpieces go on for his new yard and he can't be ruled out after a break with Brian Hughes up.

Form & Verdict
Top yard but this 100,000 euros purchase has yet to live up to her pedigree; one of her better efforts over hurdles a 4.25l third in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick in April (2m3f, good); may have needed latest run; from the family of Coney Island and Rhinestone Cowboy so bred for this sort of test; has to be respected on chasing debut.
