Off the mark under this rider at Tramore 12 days ago and 6lb rise is fair but unproven on this sort of ground; now tried with first-time tongue-tie.

Clearly more expected of her over C&D last month when 4-1 but beaten 23l by Chosen Shant (good); not helped by jumping errors that day; beaten a long way on penultimate C&D start as well; longstanding maiden who went close at Tipperary in May (2m1f, good to yielding); she will put it all together someday.

No wins for nearly four years and two runs for current yard leave him with a fair bit to find although is dropping in grade (29lb below his peak mark) and this is a weak race.

Belied 40-1 odds when creditable third at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in March but weakened quickly after making a lot of the running over C&D (good; visored, as today) three weeks ago and is now 0-9 for stable; needs recent wind op to have made a big difference.

Two placings this spring give him a chance but they were followed by two lesser efforts and latest was C&D when tongue tied first time since 2024; visor (used twice in 2025) returns instead of usual cheekpieces; stable runs two.
