Form & Verdict

Favourite for four-runner bumper on debut in sole start for Tom Mullins but was too keen and finished third; two moderate runs in bumpers for this stable before a much-improved display when second at this venue 16 days ago on his hurdling debut; jumping was fine, needs to settle better.

Form & Verdict

Maiden on the Flat after 18 attempts, rated a lowly 51; now looks a different proposition after a promising introduction to hurdling at Clonmel; despite suffering interference, stayed on well over a similar trip to this, form strongly advertised by the winner Minella Diamond in winning easily at Limerick on Thursday
