Form & Verdict

Lightly raced filly; promising debut second in 1m Gowran maiden last year, absent for 13 months until third in 1m4f Roscommon maiden, weakened late; prominent for a long way before fading into fifth on handicap debut over 1m1f at Leopardstown.

Form & Verdict

Twice placed at two; missed all of last year; second in two turf maidens this year, and also a fair fifth of 16 in a competitive handicap at Cork; a bit too keen when not quite failing to match his best form on AW debut at Dundalk last month; good overall credentials for this.
