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.

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.

Soundly beaten on stable debut at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft) three weeks ago but shaped as though he may have needed that run and he's back in blinkers today, which he wore for the first time when winning at Gowran Park (9.5f, good) in June on his final outing for Joseph O'Brien; interesting.

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.
