Best effort in five maidens came when fourth at Naas over this trip last time, first start since being gelded; has less than 1l to make up on Transcript from that run so there shouldn't be much between them today.

Third to Causeway (unbeaten in four starts since, including a Group 2 at Royal Ascot) in 7f Curragh maiden last year; hasn't built on that; mark was put back up 5lb after fair run in valuable event at Gowran last month; all his form is with an ease and scratched because of fast ground last time; steps up in trip by two furlongs.
