Form & Verdict
Four goes as 2yo in Ireland for Ger Lyons, best effort when short-headed by Aidan O'Brien-trained favourite at Navan (1m) on third start; every chance on form judged on that run and is of obvious interest for new yard.

Bred to be useful and he stepped up markedly on his debut form when a close second of eight at Kempton (6f; 9-2) three weeks ago, finishing well; type to improve further and may well go one better over this longer trip.

Made it four wins from his last ten starts when scoring at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) recently; on a lofty mark under a 6lb penalty and it remains to be seen if he's just as good over 1m, but there can be optimism in that regard and he's clearly progressive; has run well on soft/good to soft.

Multiple sprint wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; back to best when making all at Sandown in June and he might have needed the run there last week following a break; now goes in cheekpieces which raises a question as blinkers weren't a successful addition in the past.
