Did well in the mud as a 2yo and has come good again with seriously committed front-running rides over 1m6f at the Curragh (good) on last two outings; had a huge lead turning for home in both, cut down by a very smart older stablemate in Group 2 on first occasion but thoroughly dominating at 1-2 in a Group 3 four weeks ago; that makes him a serious player on form and the others should not bank on him faltering if he again sets up a big lead.

Flat maiden winner was a smart juvenile hurdler last season, winning a Grade 3, but was below form in cheekpieces at Punchestown; beaten a long way in a Flat handicap at the Curragh since; however, has a chance if his jumping holds up on chasing bow.

Form & Verdict
Improved considerably from debut when a staying-on third in a 1m Killarney maiden in July; put in another solid display at Leopardstown ten days later; again finished third and only just denied by Aidan O'Brien's subsequent winner Chief Little Rock; his experience should be an asset here.
