Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 82

9/2

Has finished mid-field all 3 starts in maidens, left with a lot to do when sixth of 14 at Punchestown (1m) 5 weeks ago. That was another fair display in what looked a good race and he's not without each-way hope.

7/1

Foaled March 12. Lucky Vega colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6.5f winner Thora. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to smart/unreliable 7f-1¼m winner Busker out of useful 9f/1¼m winner Adonesque. Tongue tied on debut and an interesting newcomer.

Attracted support and made an encouraging start when fourth of 14 in 7f maiden here a fortnight ago, not clear run early in straight before keeping on and never nearer. Closely matched with the third American Cowboy and open to improvement. Blinkers go on.
