1.50 Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden 1m

The Joseph O’Brien-trained Eighteenth Smiles can make his experience count here. A son of State Of Rest, the colt showed promise in this early maidens before a luckless passage when third in a Galway nursery on his penultimate start. Back in maiden class again last time, he kept on well to reach the frame. Stepping up to a mile for the first time could finally see him get his head in front.
