First three starts were on soft/heavy, notably Killarney 2yo maiden win and when showing good attitude for Roscommon handicap win over this trip in May, still green; quick ground at Ascot probably didn't suit but potential remains.

Impressed at Killarney on debut and it was a Group 3 in which he was found wanting next time, both on heavy; outpaced well over 3f out in a median auction race at Roscommon (10.4f, soft) last month but stuck on admirably for a narrow win (Neski Sherelski close up); far less stoutly bred than some but it looks as if he can stay 1m4f and may still progress, which is needed.

Very green when coming through for debut win at Dundalk (10.5f, AW) in January; last of five next time, but travelled best and kept on when close third of seven to Naval Force at level weights in a median auction contest at Roscommon (10.4f, soft), still looking green under pressure; fair chance he will stay 1m4f and big chance that his best is still ahead of him.

Must go well at home because made favourite for back-to-back 1m2f maidens in the spring, travelled well before weakening quickly each time; fitting of tongue-tie a hint that maybe it wasn't simply a lack of stamina that was the issue; nonetheless, could be on a decent mark for handicap debut and two siblings won on AW.
