Form & Verdict

Made a promising debut at Leopardstown last autumn and built on that on return when a close second in a Gowran maiden over this trip; a leading player with improvement to come.

Form & Verdict

Has run some solid races in defeat up to 1m2f; faced a tough task at Gowran last time but ran creditably; the hood worn then is left off and the drop back to 1m should be fine so is a player.

Form & Verdict

Solid in two runs as a 2yo; unlucky-in-running on return at Leopardstown but ran a fine race there last time over 1m2f; caught close home then after leading in the straight so the drop to 1m should suit; a player.
