Maiden has been knocking on the door of late here over 7f, both in maiden and most recently close third in handicap, finishing well; well worth a try at this trip and likely big player.

Latest win was just under a year ago over 1m1f at Leopardstown, although twice went close on AW over the winter (at this trip and 1m4f); well held in two starts at Leopardstown this summer, although it was a hot race last time and this is more his level.

Form & Verdict
Yard in sensational form and 3yo contributed when getting off the mark in Down Royal maiden in late September, coming off pace to beat a subsequent winner on soft; makes handicap debut (okay mark) on first AW start and 1m should be within his compass.
