Smart Flat pedigree; looked good when justifying prohibitive odds at Listowel (good) but he was in trouble a long way out at Cork and was beaten 7l; surely better than he showed that day but Patrick Mullins gets him off this time.

Has a quality Flat pedigree and made 52,000gns as a yearling but has taken time to get to the track; it was worth the wait, however, as he won a Listowel bumper impressively a month ago; should take plenty of beating with improvement likely too.
