Form & Verdict
Progressive profile early in the season with front running victories in a Dundalk maiden over 6f and a Curragh handicap over this trip; unable to last it out but only beaten a length at the Curragh on Derby weekend; could still be a force off this mark although this is a very competitive heat.
