Second runner for yard; placed in Naas nursery last term and finished runner-up all three outings this season at 6f-1m, each time staying on late on ground with an ease; quicker ground possibly not ideal but still shortlisted.

Placed in Naas nursery last term and good second on both starts this term on soft ground over longer trips, at Bellewstown and Gowran, each time staying on late; drop in trip and quicker ground possibly not ideal so will want a strong pace to aim at, stiff finish to suit.
