Form & Verdict

One of two runners for yard; consistent form in Listed company at 10.5f to 13f this season before being outclassed in a Group 2 at the Curragh on latest start; she should be a lot more comfortable in this company and she looks capable of picking up more black type if taking to the surface on her AW bow.

Steadily progressive this term upped in trip, notably second to subsequent Queens Vase third Birdman in 1m5f Navan Listed (4-runners) and when back to 1m2f in Naas Oaks Trial last month, outpaced late after briefly hitting the front late on; trip/ground to suit, seems sure to go well.

Second runner for stable; beaten a neck in a 10.5f Naas Group 3 after winning her maiden here over 1m; didn't enjoy the clearest of runs when behind Bellezza in a 10.5f Listed heat at Naas in June; out of her depth in the Irish Oaks last time but this a lot more suitable and she's proven on this surface; interesting.

Form & Verdict

Second runner for yard; Galileo colt made a winning debut over 1m at Leopardstown last month; now makes his AW debut but his dam won twice at this track so he should act on the surface; moves up in trip for his first try in stakes company and can't be discounted for leading yard; looks the first-string on jockey bookings.

Half-brother to recent 2yo Listed winner January; dam 7f/1m winner (inc AW 2yo/Group 2; RPR 116), half-sister to 7f Listed winner Viscount Barfield, out of maiden half-sister to winners Landseer (French 2,000 Guineas) and Ikhtyar (1m/1m2f Listed); has obviously taken time to come to hand and will improve for this but, on the other hand, it's a relatively ordinary maiden.
