Solid maiden runs first two starts at two and off the mark on handicap debut off 80 at Killarney in August (1m, good); didn't seem to get home in heavy ground at Listowel following month but remains open to progress back on better ground and half-brother to high-class Cloth Of Stars should appreciate this trip.
