Low-key display over 6f first time out; much better when third behind a well-fancied stablemate over this trip at Punchestown; outpointed by a useful sort in a 1m1f contest; has the beating of Enceladus on that showing; could be hard to beat now with Jack Cleary's claim.

Form & Verdict
Decent level of form in three outings in second half of last season, notably getting up late in 7.5f Naas auction event and slightly shorter trip against him at same venue final start when staying on third in valuable auction series final; good chance he'll improve for this step up in trip and on an okay mark.

3 yo Filly

OR: 85

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced at two, stepping up nicely from Listowel debut to land Gowran fillies maiden over an extended mile in October, needing every yard to get back up close home (first two clear) on heavy; will be well suited by 1m2f; quicker conditions here and high enough initial mark, although open to more improvement than most
