Wel-supported favourite for his debut at the Curragh in May when getting no luck in running; looks a colt with talent and might be very hard to beat here.

One of two for yard; has won four times at 6f-7f and is 2-2 at this track; sole win last year came in a three-runner auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good); subsequently placed in Listed and Group 3 company; had a few of these behind when a 3.5l third at Cork (6f, soft) on seasonal return; sharper now but has never won over 5f and Billy Lee prefers Bonus Time.

Four wins at 6f-7f with his best effort coming when unluckily denied by Art Power in a Group 3 (soft) at the Curragh last autumn; below form next time at Ascot but is rated 109 and this ground suits so can be a big player.

Ground was good when he was a remote third behind smart types King Cuan and Pipsy on debut at Cork; not as effective on soft going on his two more recent outings; this surface may help to bring out the best in him.
