Showed plenty of ability on his debut over 1m2f at Navan; looked as though he could be capable of plenty of improvement and should go close here if handling the deeper ground.

Form & Verdict
Irish Derby entrant ran a cracker when runner-up in a 1m1f Curragh maiden in October; backward step when beaten at odds of 1-4 in a Gowran maiden last month; cheekpieces tried and the step up in trip should suit; question to answer though.
