Form & Verdict
Won her maiden over C&D in October and returned with a C&D success last month; however, form of those races is nothing special and she finished last in a Listed race over a bit further here a fortnight ago.

Sole win in 18 starts came in Cork maiden in October 2024; produced career best over C&D in April when 0.75l second to subsequent Group 1 scorer Mission Central in Listed race; finished ahead of Keke when filling the same spot at Cork last month and line can be put through handicap run six days ago as gaps didn't come; leading player if not backing up too fast.

Nearly beat Stag Night in a C&D handicap before two fine runs at Listed level at Naas in races won by the subsequent Group 1 winner Mission Central, finishing closer on the first occasion; another fine effort when second in a Listed race at Cork; the downside is that she is 17lb higher than for her last handicap start.

Form & Verdict
Career best to get off the mark in a 6f Dundalk maiden last month and only beaten half a length on handicap debut at Naas last week; up 5lb but warrants respect and gives the impression he has the speed for this first try at 5f.

Fitted with blinkers for the first time when making all in a 6f maiden at Dundalk in April; he has followed that with three solid placed efforts in Irish sprint handicaps; ran well in his one run on good to firm ground (as a 2yo); should give his running but minor money perhaps his best hope.

Went close on turf last season and having been gelded at the back-end of last term, he returned with a 5f maiden success at Dundalk; didn't manage to kick on when making his handicap debut in February; not obviously well treated but yard excel with their sprinters and he's not one to put a line through.
