Form & Verdict

Excellent neck second of 16 on debut at Naas (7f, yld-sft) last September, headed close to home; off since and is hooded for return; leading claims if ready to rock after 229-day absence.

Form & Verdict

All three starts over 6f at the Curragh; Ran poorly when 50-1 on debut last June; stronger in the betting the next twice and ran much better, beaten just 1l when third of 16 behind Mumhan (yld-sft) and beaten 2.25l when runner up behind Silk Braid (yielding); should appreciate the step up to 7f and big chance if ready after break.
