Form & Verdict

Ran to a similar level when fourth at Leopardstown (6f) and here (7f) last year, form of latter looking particularly strong now; returned with a neck second to Allsortz 13 days ago (Aughlish 1.25l back in third) here over 6f; drops in trip; should improve for last run and likely to go very close.

Form & Verdict

Eight-race maiden who ran to a consistent level last year; best effort came when beaten 4l into third behind Ipanema Queen in Listed race at the Curragh in August; bit below form when a beaten fav' at Naas 217 days ago but raced keenly on ground softer than ideal; gelded; surface should suit and sets a good standard.
