Favourite in a handicap at the Curragh (7f, yielding) three weeks ago on his second stable start and did well to finish third having endured a torrid passage; there's mileage in his mark judged on his peak form for Jack Channon, namely a Group 3 second at Haydock (1m, good) last September, and he could play a leading role back up to 1m if he gets the breaks.
