Form & Verdict

Narrowly denied on first two starts in 7f maidens at Naas (yld-sft) and Gowran (yld); not disgraced when pitched into Group 1 company at the Curragh last time (1m, good); rated 102 and the one to beat back in these calmer waters.

Form & Verdict

In the first three in three of his four starts (all on easy ground) and rated 83; attracted the attention of the stewards when eased up late for third at Gowran (7f, soft) last time in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); should be in the mix again if handling these quicker conditions (dam related to good ground winners).

Form & Verdict

Rated 72; fine effort on debut in June of last year at Leopardstown (7.5f, good) but nowhere near that level in three subsequent runs; off since a moderate run on testing ground over 6f at the Curragh in March; quicker ground and step back up in trip here a plus but more needed.

Form & Verdict

Rated 74; standout effort in three previous maiden runs a 0.75l third of 9 at Leopardstown (7f, good); disappointing run off 77 on handicap debut at the Curragh (1m, good), weakening into last of 12; dropping back to 7f is a plus but drawn wide and probably place claims at best.
