Got tired in the final furlong when fourth of nine in an 8.3f maiden (soft) here in October, but it was still an encouraging start to his career; the longer trip should suit and this Irish Derby entrant is open to plenty of improvement this year.

Cost 220,000gns as a yearling; both starts at Nottingham, latest six weeks ago (1m2f, good) when building on his 2yo effort (1m) and scoring comfortably; this Irish Derby entry looks likely to improve further; respected under 7lb penalty.

Well-bred colt who delivered on earlier promise when readily drawing clear to justify odds-on favouritism in Pontefract novice (1m2f, good) in April, his third run; makes handicap debut after ten-week break but should still have a fair bit more to offer; respected.

Smart bumper/novice hurdle form; recorded an RPR of 141 when eighth in the County Hurdle four weeks ago; no match for Constitution Hill on his Flat debut but he should do better in this sphere at some point, probably when handicapping.

J: Gina Mangan

T: Fergal O’Brien

Winner of a bumper and three novice hurdle races, most recently a Grade 2 here in February 2025; chasing didn't work out but he mostly ran with credit in defeat back over hurdles and three Flat races have been thrown in (1m3f here latest) in which he's shown some ability; it's not clear what his ideal Flat trip is but he's now qualified for a Flat handicap mark and it's a highly attractive one compared to his hurdles figure.

Bagged a bumper and three hurdles, including Grade 2 Dovecote last February; acquitted himself well in two big spring festivals of late; should have a future on the Flat but will likely get a mark after this third start; no headgear.
