Promise over a mile first three starts; didn't get home over 7f on soft at Tipperary but then was tapped for toe, before staying on, back at a mile on handicap debut at Leopardstown; not sure what his trip is but suspect it's not 7f; second start on AW.

Progressive gelding has taken form to new level this term with excellent Listed efforts at Leopardstown on last two starts; had Alcantor 2l behind when a 1.25l runner-up on latest (1m, good) and should uphold that form; has winning course form in the book and leading claims.

Course handicap winner at 1m1f; cracking effort when 2.5l fourth in Listed Heritage Stakes over C&D (yld-sft) last month when he had three of these behind despite not getting the clearest of runs; acts on good ground and seems to be improving; a bit to find on the figures, but could go very well.
