No slouch but he has never raced above Listed level and looks like being a possible pacemaker for stablemate The Lion In Winter in this first Group attempt; clear bottom of this pack on handicap marks and should be swallowed up once his rivals get roaring.

Consistent in handicaps and conditions races at around 1m/1m1f last season; only once out of the first four in his nine 2024 starts, three wins, including over C&D; has never run in a stakes race and will need to raise his game to score at this level.

Holding her form well this term, finished close to the winner in two Gowran fillies' maidens before coming late to chase home a ready all the way winner in a Leopardstown rated race over 1m; too keen on handicap debut at the same track but again ran well back in fillies' maiden company last time when a close third (1m, good); likely underfoot conditions blunt enthusiasm.
