Ran well in 1m/1m2f maidens, the latest when third of 18 at the Curragh (good; runner-up has since won a maiden); his dam won the Irish St Leger so looks interesting over this longer trip on handicap debut.

Irish Oaks entry is very optimistic but she's shown enough in 1m/1m1f maidens to believe she can do some damage off this sort of mark; finished behind well-bred fillies the last time at Gowran; bred to stay this far.
