Form & Verdict

Positives to take from his debut at the Curragh where fifth of 14 in a 1m maiden; has to step up on that if he's to trouble the two previous winners.

Form & Verdict

Headed to Limerick last time for a 7f handicap (good) with a record of 0-9 but she showed huge improvement to win comfortably by 8l, which triggered an 18lb rise; new mark entitles her to be competitive against Tribal Nation, provided it doesn't flatter her.

Form & Verdict

Won his maiden on heavy but fine on faster ground as he showed when a close sixth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; he might have gone really close on handicap debut at Naas (1m) the time before had he been sharper from the stalls; not yet exposed and could be hard to beat in a race of this nature; stable won this 12 months ago.
