Form & Verdict

Confirmed the promise of a nice debut second at this venue when winning a valuable heat at Naas second time out, just getting the better of Saratoga Special; no-show in Listed races at Royal Ascot and Tipperary but got back on track with Group 3 fourth here last month; shaped like slightly shorter trip would help and has to be high on any shortlist down in class.

Gave the 101-rated Treasure Isle a good race when second on debut at Naas in May; behind the same runner when second in 5f Listed at the Curragh next time (Shamrock Breeze over 5l behind); ran too freely when a beaten 2-5 favourite last time but sets a high standard.

Form & Verdict

Left debut behind to win a fillies' maiden at Naas second time out and ran okay when bidding to follow up in the Marwell Stakes (6th of 10 beaten roughly 3l); on the wrong side in the Ballyhane since and may resume progress with first-time blinkers fitted.
