Did well when second to a promising Donnacha O'Brien-trained filly on his debut over 6f at the Curragh; satisfactory fifth of 17 over same course and trip on second start; fourth behind the subsequent Chesham Stakes runner-up over C&D last time; official rating of 83 is high enough to give him a leading chance.
