Shows every sign of maturing into a high-class 1m handicapper at the age of six; winner of three races at 7f, starting the campaign with a 1m success at Naas, well on top in the closing stages; looked a shade unlucky not to follow up in a 7f premier handicap at the Curragh; big chance for trainer/rider combination associated with the 2022 winner.
