Form & Verdict

Both runs at Leopardstown (1m2f/1m4f); a beaten favourite the last time but two of the three ahead of him have won since; obvious contender.

Form & Verdict

0-5; Lombardi Trophy was making his debut when this gelding was ahead of him at Leopardstown in April and has performed to a similar level in two subsequent defeats; not improving but his form is right up there.

Form & Verdict

Cost 340,000euros as a yearling; disappointing short-priced favourite at Leopardstown last time but the blinkers now go on and he was previously second to the smart Scandinavia at Navan (1m2f); hard to dismiss.
