Much improved this spring with step up in trip, winning Tipperary maiden and bolted home in Naas rated contest over 1m2f; quite tame effort however in Leopardstown Listed over this trip last time after setting a steady pace; return to easier ground should suit but questions to answer at this level now.

Much improved this spring with step up in trip, winning Tipperary maiden over this trip before impressive in Naas rated contest over 1m2f, travelling strongly to lead some way out and going clear (eased and value for more than 10l margin); well worthy of this step up in grade and should go well if handling this fast ground.

Placed over this trip on Leopardstown reappearance and then forged clear in the straight to win five-runner maiden over extended 1m4f at Tipperary; mark unchanged for that but could be done for toe back in trip.

Well-bred sort but was stable second-string when beaten almost 20l over 1m2f on debut at Navan (hvy); needs to improve for this better ground and application of blinkers.

Came on from his debut when narrowly denied in a Tipperary maiden in April; two solid runs in maidens since, including when dropped back to extended 1m2f here latest; return to further likely to help and his opening mark seems fair.
