Rated 78; has gone close in maidens at 1m-1m2f; finished 0.5l behind Emma Calve when fifth at Navan over 10f on latest; now tries 1m4f for the first time; ran poorly on sole start on easy ground but always dangerous to discount horses from this yard.

Hasn't shown a whole lot in a couple of maidens at 1m2f-1m6f so far; however, both those runs came on good ground and he is related to winners on soft; cheekpieces go on and he could potentially improve on this more forgiving surface; not dismissed.

An 82 rated filly ran her best race to date last time when narrowly denied at Tramore (12f, yielding); the visor worn that day is discarded and blinkers go on; she didn't look the most straightforward of rides the last day and this drop in trip and quicker ground raises question marks; however, she can't be fully discounted.

Well-bred filly ran on nicely for fourth after missing the start at Navan and finished ahead of North Africa; that was a very pleasing debut and on that evidence this step up in trip will suit her; mixed messages in her pedigree regarding the suitability of soft ground but she could be a big danger if handling it.
