Form & Verdict

Promise in three maidens last year on varying ground, including when third at Listowel on heavy (beaten 8l into third by Straight Up); ran well on handicap debut 18 days ago when 2.25l third to Empty Wallet, first run since being gelded and in first-time cheekpieces; should be thereabouts for in-form stable.

Form & Verdict

Seven-race maiden but some good efforts and placed four times, including over course and distance in October when beaten a nose by Marjorie Dew; good return to action when beaten 2.5l into fourth by Drop Dead Gorgeous at Naas on soft 31 days ago, awkward away; consistent, has experience edge and obvious player.
