14th foal; dam has a decent record at stud, progeny include smart jumper Third Intention and the versatile Orgilgo Bay; ran as well as could have been expected when chasing home long odds-on Tannola in a 7f maiden at Galway last September; only five runner but third-placed Vassula Ryden franked the form with a comfortable Navan win.

Form & Verdict
Placed in three of his four runs in maidens last season, at 1m and a little further; boasts form linked to a couple of useful Ballydoyle juveniles; found 6f inadequate in the Birdcatcher Nursery; has been gelded and is now blinkered for the first time; should handle the ground and holds a leading chance.
