Form & Verdict

Tipperary maiden winner may well have won the Group 3 Gallinule Stakes at the Curragh in May (1m2f, good) but for being hampered; thrown into a tougher Group 3 at Ascot last time when well beaten; has run like the trip of today's race would suit him and he is the most likely winner.

All three starts this term have been at this track at 9.5f; returned from a break with a fillies' maiden win in April and followed that up with a comfortable success in a fillies' event the following month; she needed to wait for room and was hampered in the Gowran Classic when sixth last time; she loves this track and is worth a try at this trip.
