Form & Verdict
Much better on second start when beaten half a length over 1m at Leopardstown in August, not going down without a fight having led; Ballydoyle-trained winner has twice been placed at Group level since and is rated 107; pedigree suggests he should stay and but long lay-off to overcome.

Second to a stablemate in Curragh maiden over 7f; ran well over C&D on comeback when beaten by a potentially smart colt of Dermot Weld's but clear of the rest; mark leaves him with a bit to find but he's capable of better and nicer ground may help.
