Ex-Irish 5yo; overall record of 1-14 but he's been in good form for new yard this season, including second in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May, with reopposing Flying Frontier back in fourth; bumped into a well-treated rival when runner-up again at Nottingham last time; likely to be on the premises under Oisin Murphy.
