Irish EBF Maiden (Smullen Series)

Second in a barrier trial at Leopardstown; encouraging display as stable's second-string when fourth of 16 over 7f at this venue last month; has a slight edge over Kactus Jack.

Low-key display over 6f first time out; much better when third behind a well-fancied stablemate over this trip at Punchestown; outpointed by a useful sort in a 1m1f contest; has the beating of Enceladus on that showing; could be hard to beat now with Jack Cleary's claim.

Sixth foal; Wootton Bassett colt is a brother to the stable's recent 1m3f maiden winner Gifted, half-brother to Listed winner Espionage; dam won the Ribblesdale and is a half-sister to St Leger winner Simple Verse; stablemate Cape Cod may have too much pace for him.

Showed plenty of promise when third on his debut in a 1m1f maiden at Punchestown 13 days ago; shorter trip may not be ideal in the rematch with runner-up Cape Cod.

First foal; dam a Listed winner by Rock Of Gibraltar, half-sister to winners including Group 3 scorer Hazapour, out of 1m4f Listed winning half-sister to Derby/Irish Derby winner Harzand.
