Smart horse at three and four in Britain, rated 108 at his peak for Richard Spencer; bought for just 9,000Gns at the Newmarket October sales and ran a cracker on his Irish debut when a close second in a 1m4f handicap two weeks ago; that might be his best trip but should be competitive over this 1m2f and one for the shortlist.
