Five-time winner for Joe Murphy; tailed off on debut for this stable in the Irish Lincolnshire last month; acts on most ground but can only be watched after that latest effort.

Second over 1m at Bellewstown; always prominent and rallied well up the hill to win useful 7f maiden at the Galway festival; not seen since and headgear left off; big step up in trip but dam 1m winner out of half-sister to 1m4f Group 1 winner and running style suggests he'll stay.

Form & Verdict
Trained in France last year, winning on debut at Chantilly (6f, good to soft) but well held in Listed/Group 3 company thereafter; dropped away badly on heavy ground on yard debut in Navan Listed in April and back from a short break on much different ground here.
