Made no impression in a 1m maiden at Leopardstown; possibly this trip will suit better since there is plenty of speed in the pedigree.

Form & Verdict

Beaten 3/4l by Take Me To Church on debut over 7f at Dundalk in February, ran green and showed potential for improvement; pedigree implies this shorter trip should suit, even though he seemed to stay well; winner franked the form by landing the Madrid Handicap and is now rated 100 after two runs in Pattern races.
