Form & Verdict

Came from off the pace to finish fourth behind the smart-looking Charles Darwin on debut in a 6f maiden at Navan in April; got a bit closer when third behind another Aidan O'Brien odds-on chance over 7f at Leopardstown; looks in need of further already; cheekpieces fitted now.

Form & Verdict

E225,000 yearling; made a satisfactory debut when fourth in a 6f maiden at this venue 11 days ago, faring a little better than a shorter-priced stablemate in a race in which Aidan O'Brien saddled winner and second; extra furlong should suit.
