Form & Verdict

Dual 2yo winner went closest to adding to that score when narrowly denied last month in 16-runner Curragh premier handicap, staying on strongly for pressure behind a strong favourite over 1m1f (good); longer trip here should suit and big player.

Best run was when third to a pair of solid stakes-level performers in a Listed contest last year; placed in 1m maidens this year, looked awkward under pressure when odds-on at Leopardstown; not one of his better efforts last time; 6f might be inadequate, but still of some interest, with cheekpieces and a 7lb claimer.

Likeable 3yo; won AW maiden last year; good fourth in hot Naas handicap over 1m before making most to beat in-form rival over 1m1f on probably unsuitably soft ground here; had that rival a little further back when fourth in 1m1f premier handicap at the Curragh, where missing a beat at the start proved costly in a race where the leaders didn't come back; takes on older horses for the first time.
