All three starts over 1m, showing promise on the first of two turf runs; no match for a smart prospect when second of three on Newcastle's Tapeta when last seen in October but showed enough to confirm he possesses a fairly useful level of ability; has obvious unexposed potential now handicapping on his return (has been gelded).
