Irish Wells gelding is a first foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Lunch In Adare (2m4f hurdle) and Big Meadow (point/bumper/3m chase) out of unraced half-sister to bumper/2m4f hurdle/2m5f chase winner Offaly; bred to stay further than this but respected on debut for top yard.

Her seven starts under rules make her one of the most experienced of the contenders; she finished a 25l fifth of eight on her debut for her current stable last time out at Tramore; prior to that she was running on the Flat to little effect; more improvement needed.
