Still looked inexperienced when winning an auction maiden nine days ago, faces stiff task

Looked a likely future maiden winner on debut at Dundalk in January, up against it here

Coped with yielding-to-soft ground when third in the Killavullan Stakes, should go close

Rated 16lb inferior to stablemate Hans Anderson, potential for improvement

Two Dundalk runs last year, the first more encouraging than the second, huge task here

82-rated maiden, placed only once from five starts at two, no appeal at this level

Soundly beaten in the National Stakes, previous Group 2 second sets a good standard
