AW winner in January has run some good races in defeat for this yard; second at Limerick in June (1m, yielding) but her run over C&D two days later probably came too soon; another promising effort at Killarney last time when defeated by a head (1m, good); wears a first-time visor; chance.

J: Ben Coen

T: C Byrnes

Winner on AW in January; unlucky not to finish closer when sixth at Gowran, short of room when travelling well; backed that up with a promising second at Limerick; failed to make his presence felt when a well-supported favourite at Gowran two days later; the race may have come too soon.

Form & Verdict
Showed ability in a couple of maidens in 2023 for Roger Varian; not much promise in four outings for this yard last season; difficult to make a case for.
