Similar form in Listed race at the Curragh and when a close second in good-ground maidens at Cork and Gowran Park, all over 1m last month; changed hands for £300,000 on Monday; needs major improvement but the big positive, backed up by his performances, is that he's bred to be very well suited by further than 1m; unexposed and needs a close look.

Given an ambitious debut in a Listed race at the Curragh; coped well in the circumstances, staying on after getting outpaced to finish roughly 7l fourth of six behind the smart-looking Paddington; beaten a neck by a stablemate of Nation's Call at Cork last week; should go very close.

Form & Verdict
Looked useful when making all to win a 7f maiden on debut at Naas last September; has a dirt-oriented pedigree but coped well with yielding-to-soft ground when around 3l third behind Aidan O'Brien's Cairo in the Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown in October; handled heavy when chasing home another stablemate of Paddington at the same venue on seasonal debut .

Keen-going sort likes a sound surface; beat Tarawa on the round mile at the Curragh just over a year ago and, after being gelded over the winter, made winning reappearance in five-runner Group 3 over that trip here in May; penalty means he's 3lb worse off with runner-up Real Appeal; down the field over 1m2f at Royal Ascot where he probably didn't stay; not an obvious candidate for headgear but cheekpieces are fitted.

Reappeared after a gelding operation to win a 1m Group 3 at Leopardstown (good) last month but it wasn't a strong race of its type and he looks vulnerable under a 5lb penalty here; stamina is also not assured (weakened on his previous attempt at about 1m2f).

Won a Galway nursery in testing conditions last October; handled similar ground when producing a fine effort to finish second to Paddington from out of the handicap in the Madrid Handicap; has continued on the upgrade but no apparent chance against Paddington on these terms.
