Form & Verdict
Half-brother to the talented Buckaroo made a very pleasing debut at Leopardstown (1m5f, good) after missing the break badly; stayed on strongly for a 0.75l third so can't afford to be slowly away again over this shorter trip; big chance if he gets away on level terms.

Lightly raced 4yo didn't debut until June last year, winning Killarney auction maiden on second start; contested 1m6f Listed races both subsequent starts, staying on fourth at Leopardstown and never landed a blow when beaten 5.5l at Ascot in October; drops to handicap company for seasonal return and has to be respected.

Made debut in June; 4-6 winner of a Killarney auction maiden (11.3f, yielding to soft) in July and built on that when fourth of eight in Listed race at Leopardstown (1m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) six weeks ago; started to make ground all too late in the latter and the headgear is now discarded; lightly raced, with strength in stamina, but big improvement is needed.

Form & Verdict
Narrowly denied on seasonal return last month in a fillies' maiden at Navan (1m2f, good) when the 13-8 favourite; dam a Group 2 winner at 1m4f so this longer trip should suit; rated 79 and gets weight from the boys; obvious chance.

Placed at two; promising seasonal return when second in 1m2f Navan fillies' maiden in June; second to an odds-on shot over an extended at Killarney following month; tame effort over a shorter trip in first-time cheekpieces at Punchestown (form boosted); handled soft ground at Killarney, so conditions and trip may suit.

Promising seasonal return when second in 1m2f Navan fillies maiden in June (good) and posted similar RPR when second to an odds-on shot over 1m4f at Killarney following month, having forced it on softer ground; this looks a weaker race and big showing expected; cheekpieces tried.
