Form & Verdict
Frankel colt is a brother to his trainer's smart Group 3 winner Red Letter; well fancied on debut at Leopardstown last August; looked raw and met trouble in running, could be a different proposition now; tongue-tie fitted.

Landed prohibitive odds in Limerick maiden (1m) in June but following month beaten odds-on favourite in 3-runner Killarney conditions event, albeit still a step forward in terms of form; more likely needed here but is going the right way.

Disappointed when a beaten favourite on sole start at two but much better form this year; close second over this C&D (good) on return in May; justified short odds to win an ordinary maiden at Limerick by 6l on latest (1m, good); rated 89 so a fair bit to find with Straight Up, but going the right way and his yard remains in terrific form.

Frankel brother to yard's smart Group 3 winner Red Letter; well fancied on sole 2yo outing but looked raw and met trouble in running; reappeared with tongue-tie fitted for much improved effort last month at Killarney, clear with odds-on winner over this trip; looks the one to beat.

Respectable run at Leopardstown in October on only outing at two; shaped quite well when keeping on to take fourth in a 1m2f maiden at Navan; might not be as effective at this trip.

Needs to bounce back from a quiet maiden run at Galway but prior to that he was only 3l away on handicap debut in the Ulster Derby (1m5f, soft), finishing hot on the heels of Bay Of Stars and Huff'n'puff; couldn't put a line through him.

Holds quite a lofty rating, unable to justify it on last month's handicap debut at Down Royal when left with plenty to do in Ulster Derby; previous maiden runs over shorter were solid efforts; stamina now proven and should go well under more positive ride.

Respectable run at Leopardstown in October on only outing at two; shaped quite well when keeping on to take fourth in a 1m2f maiden at Navan in April, with subsequent winner Huff'N'Puff one place behind; appeared to find 1m inadequate at Killarney; this should suit better

Slow to break and never a threat on Fairyhouse debut last June, an excuse emerged then; hard to make a case for him based on a Dundalk run in January.

Hasn't troubled the judge in three runs; beaten 10l on latest at Killarney (1m) but it's a race that has worked out very well with the second, third and ninth all winning since; needs to improve plenty but may do so.
