11st 5lb

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Bought for £120,000 after a debut point win; impressed in winning her first two hurdle races; landed a 2m5f maiden at Punchestown before displaying plenty of stamina in winning a 2m7f Grade 2 at Limerick; arguably sets the standard with her second behind Jasmin De Vaux in the Albert Bartlett, rallied well having been hampered after two out; suited by soft ground.

Made amends for a fall on his chasing debut with wins in a beginners' event at Punchestown and Naas Grade 3 (extended 3m, heavy); struggled in the Brown Advisory and didn't land a blow (mistakes) when remote fourth in 3m5f Irish National last time; jumping still needs attention.

Decent novice hurdler last season but came up short at Grade 1 level; faller on chase debut at Punchestown last month but landed 3m beginners there later in month albeit task made considerably easier by two high-profile fallers; sole runner for top yard so respected, but suspicion is he'll have to improve a fair bit to play a major role; goes on heavy.

Point-to-point winner; rated 130 over timber; got to within 1.75l of progressive Zanoosh on penultimate start in a handicap hurdle at Navan (2m4f, sft-hvy); bred for this game (dam a chase winner); this trip might be on the sharp side but can't dismiss.

Quite lightly-raced 7yo with an upward profile, landing 2m4f Punchestown handicap on soft-to-heavy in November and fine run off 10lb higher over same trip at Navan a fortnight ago, finishing strongly to take third; step up in trip looks a wise move and likely improver.
