Sligo nursery form working out really well and might have won but for lack of experience

Sales-race fourth would suggest mark if 75 fine but that looked a weak renewal; noted

Do more and quite eye-catching reverting to nursery at Naas (good to yielding); 2lb higher

Not progressing in fifth in handicaps but was notably favourite latest; visor tried

Noted on first two runs but flopped since, beaten at least a dozen lengths; rain may help

Bit to find on that with Vestigia but accordingly weighted; yard in form; interesting

Noted flashing tail Navan on nursery bow but ran (on) well; she's noted; top young rider

Regressive at huge prices so far but has shown ability; not sure what to expect
