0-5 but has gone close in both nurseries and he's one to consider
1 (1)	Tricky Tel Bay J:Jason Hart T:Hugo Palmer	J:Jason Hart T:Hugo Palmer	136	—	1157	81	86	71	14d	—	—	+3	21	0.83/1	10/3 23%

Soundly beaten in Irish sales race last time but not ruled out in view of previous promise

Two 6f nursery wins then didn't quite see out 7f last time; firmly in calculations

Difficult to assess ahead of nursery debut but he's a possible improver for in-form yard
8 (7)	Lily Pearl Bay J:Shane Gray T:Richard Fahey	J:Shane Gray T:Richard Fahey	127	—	434	72	83	70	36d	—	—	+5	8.7	5.00/1	20/1 5%
