Quiet in his maidens but was loud in the market ahead of his handicap debut at Naas (soft to heavy) and duly won with any amount in hand; whacked up 13lb but he's well related and no doubt has a lot more to offer.

Placed in five of her last six handicaps, narrowly denied at Limerick (2m3f, soft to heavy) last winter and close at Clonmel in April (2m, soft); no match for winner upped to 2m5f at Tramore later that month; suspicion is she will need soft ground; tongue-tied after a break.

Placed in three of her last four races, every chance if a step up in trip does the trick after a recent second placing in a 16-runner 2m contest at Clonmel; more mature now than when fading in the closing stages over C&D last November.

Won a heavy-ground 1m maiden at Leopardstown in 2023 for Aidan O'Brien; failed to add to his tally for Archie Watson and three maiden hurdle runs since December poor; hard to make a case for entering handicaps but market worth a look.
