1/2

Related to a couple of useful winners and having shaped well in a deep 7f Curragh maiden on debut in August 2025, continued his promising start when second, beaten just ½ length, in 15-runner 1m Leopardstown contest in May. Tongue tie goes on and can do better again.

Forecasts

Daring Heart (1/2), Keogie (3/1), Orellana (9/2), Monmouth (5/1), Blooming Rose (5/1), Mac An Luais (33/1), Monty Bear (300/1), Caption This (300/1), Notahairoutofplace (500/1), Freddiesadienray (500/1)

DARING HEART has been seen just twice in 13 months but clearly has stacks of ability and could be the one to beat if taking another step forward in a first-time tongue tie. Keogie and Aidan O'Brien's Monmouth are dangers.
