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.

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

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.
