Form & Verdict

3 yo Colt

OR: 94

Form & Verdict
One of two for yard and preferred by McMonagle; rated 94; 1-7 on turf, the win coming over 7.5f in a Roscommon maiden (good); didn't seem to enjoy the testing ground at Naas on his return so the forecast rain is a concern; cheekpieces now added to tongue tie.

Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; some creditable efforts for current yard but his style can depend on luck and he's finished a well-held eighth at Newbury (1m) in last two starts; mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game back up in trip; blinkers return and cheekpieces are removed.

Held up of late; competitive if judged on his peak Irish form for Joseph O'Brien, which was a 9.5f win last June in first-time blinkers; has played minor roles for new yard since, with some promise on occasions at Meydan (1m1f-1m4f) this year but others have more pressing claims.

Six-race maiden on the Flat but he's 3-4 over hurdles and travelled strongly for a long way when close third in the Triumph at Cheltenham last month; split Maestro Conti and Selma De Vary in that race and should make another bold bid here; that last run was on soft but his second win was on good.

Ordinary maiden on the Flat; won hurdling debut at Tipperary in July, however, and has emerged as a leading juvenile hurdler for new yard with his Listed win at Wetherby (good; overcame a bad late mistake) and Triumph Trial win over C&D (good to soft; by just over 6l from Winston Junior); the latter makes him the highest-rated runner in this from a British stable.
