Form & Verdict
It looked a fair bumper in which he was a rallying second at Ballinrobe in April (soft) and he later fetched 165,000euros at the sales; faced with very different conditions here but rated a nice prospect by his local trainer who targets this meeting.

Second to a talented rival at Ballinrobe (soft) in April and fetched 165,000euros in May; 11-8 favourite at Wincanton (1m7f, good) six weeks ago, against just three opponents and scoring by a neck but he should improve on that; No Drama This End may be stable first string on jockey bookings.

Beaten 14l in a British point bumper back in the spring when fitted with a hood (good to soft); that's no great advert for his prospects but he's joined a good yard for rules action.

Form & Verdict
It didn't look a strong Irish point that he won (3m, good to yielding) as the fourth is now 0-5 under rules and he wasn't beaten far; went for £38,000 at the sales soon after and his new yard has a good strike-rate in these races.

Encouraging 12l fourth behind big talking horse Regent's Stroll on his Ascot debut and again bumped into a nice prospect at Plumpton (good) in May when clear of the remainder; wears a first-time tongue-tie; should have some say.
