7f Galway nursery winner on heavy ground last season; extended 1m2f seemed too far at Sligo on latest, so should appreciate this drop back in distance. |

9st 5lb |
Landed a nursery for Joseph O'Brien last October in first-time blinkers (absent here); gelded since and makes British/stable debut for yard that knows the time of day; raced on no firmer than good but may be way ahead of the handicapper; market will reveal more. |

Ran okay in 7f nursery here and well backed 4-1 fav at Galway next start, would have been a few places closer but for meeting trouble in running; cheekpieces tried there are left off for this return; hasn't fully shown his hand yet, and has been found a winnable contest if he's ready; draw has been kind too. |

Second runner for local yard; maiden went closest when chasing home a progressive type over 6f at Dundalk in April; has a tendency to miss the break; short of room and hampered 2f out when behind third-placed Fontaine Khaled at Down Royal on latest; not discounted. |

Handicap debutante; was well behind a couple of these rivals in the last of her maidens at Naas but she was badly snatched up on the rail when making headway just over 1f out so she could have finished a fair bit closer; could outrun her odds. |
