Form & Verdict

Made an encouraging debut when staying on for fourth of 19 behind the Aidan O'Brien-trained Ides Of March at the Curragh; that form has worked out well, and he did his bit to enhance it when readily landing the odds in a 6f Cork maiden; likely to be progressive.

$1.8 million yearling; promising fourth on Curragh debut, staying on well after being outpaced early; won a 1m maiden here in August by 9l; held his own when third of four as stable's second-string in a 1m Group 2 event at Leopardstown; blinkered now for what looks like a good opportunity despite a slight concern about the shorter trip.
