9st 2lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: A P O’Brien

Both runs over 1m on heavy ground; 5l third of 23 on debut at the Curragh behind Victory Tip; got his head in front next time at Navan in first-time cheekpieces (retained) and runner up has won since; pedigree suggests there could be lots more to come on quicker ground and he's the choice of Ryan Moore; big player.

T: A P O’Brien

$500,000 F, $1,000,000 Y; fifth foal; half-brother to Grade 1 winner Up To The Mar; dam unraced sister to a US 1m stakes winner Zapper Belle, out of US 7f Grade 1 winner; not bred for heavy ground but debut third at the Curragh provides much reassurance; noteworthy that he is given another run relatively soon with cheekpiecess fitted.
