Got off the mark over hurdles at the fifth attempt in a Wetherby maiden (2m, good) in March; surpassed that with a cracking second in a big-field handicap at Punchestown (2m, yielding) in May and should be up to defying a 7lb penalty in this company.
Comment
Won Wetherby maiden in March; second in a big-field handicap at Punchestown in May.
Stable Tour
"He probably wants two and a half miles, but he was a bit keen when chasing home what is a fair horse in Un Sens A La Vie at Market Rasen in October so we kept him at the minimum trip at Exeter last time. He bumped into another nice horse in Lisbane Park there, but it was another solid run. 18-11-25"

0-6 when trained in Ireland; sold for 22,000gns to join current yard in January, and bolted up on her British debut in a Chepstow maiden (2m, good) in April; needs to be taken seriously even with a 7lb penalty.

Bolted up on her British debut in a Chepstow maiden in April.

Won three on the Flat for William Haggas; sold for 20,000gns to join this yard last October and scored on her second hurdles start at Kempton (2m good) in March; another good run when runner-up at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) the following month and should run her race.
Comment
Won on her second hurdles start at Kempton in March; another good run when second since.
Quotes
"She's still quite inexperienced. We thought the track might be a touch on the sharp side so were keen to get Molten Sea into her stride and her rhythm and she's done that and showed a good attitude in the later stages. She gets that trip well and I think going up in trip will be a big help. The second horse quickened by her while she was still a bit green and she's really gone through the line well and galloped out nicely afterwards - Callum Rodriguez, jockey, speaking to Racing TV"

Made a promising start when runner-up in a bumper at Huntingdon (2m, soft) in February but hasn't progressed on good ground in a similar contest or on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter three weeks ago; may need soft to see him in a better light.
