Sky Bet Club Irish EBF Maiden

Finished 1 1/2l behind Bull Shark when fourth at Naas on debut; may improve enough to reverse form with that rival who was having his third start.

Seventh foal; Justify colt is a brother to Statuette, who won a 6f Group 2 race here as a juvenile on her second and final start, closely related to Group 1 winner Tenebrism, half-brother to Classic winner Henri Matisse, and two other winners; dam a dual Group 1 winner; superb pedigree, Ryan Moore on Giant Sequoia.

E120,000 Breeze Up purchase; Blackbeard colt is the first foal out of a mare who ran only twice; solid American pedigree.

Third all three starts, the first two at this venue, over 5f on heavy and 6f on soft; beaten almost 8l behind the subsequent Marble Hill winner Great Barrier Reef on the second occasion; beaten almost as far behind the smart-looking Confucius at Naas last time; his experience should be an asset but he needs to raise his game to win a maiden.

Third foal; by Frankel out of a Listed-winning daughter of Camelot; dam is a sister to Irish Derby winner Latrobe, half-sister to Group 3 winner Diamond Fields; Ryan Moore aboard for debut with Wayne Lordan on Aix La Chapelle.
