Unseated rider on way to the start before low-key Curragh debut in August but following month much improved upped to today's trip to win Naas claiming maiden, green but responding well to pressure to win a shade snugly; claimed for 25,000euros out of Daniel McLoughlin's yard and looks the type to keep improving.

Steady improvement in first three runs in decent maidens won by Ballydoyle colts, including getting up on post for third over 7f at the Curragh; softer ground may not have suited when way below his best at Killarney last time (1m); should appreciate return to better ground and big player if staying (blinkers replace cheekpieces).
