125,000gns 2yo; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to French 1m1f winner Mandalay; very promising Naas debut nine days ago over this trip, staying on well (racing away from winner in centre of track) when beaten 0.75l on yielding; granted normal improvement should be a major player here providing he handles softer ground; non-runner Curragh Tuesday.

Off the mark at third attempt with straightforward Dundalk maiden win in April; excuses when ninth on handicap debut at this track after and bounced back to land conditions race at Fairyhouse (7f, gd) 29 days ago impressively in first-time tongue-tie; that's retained and he's proving progressive; the most solid option here and one of two for last year's winning trainer.
