Well-bred and expensive yearling went close in three maidens last year up to 7f in varying ground conditions plus ran respectably in a Group 3; was below form over this trip on testing ground on seasonal debut but has changed stable since and this sound surface will suit better; big chance with cheekpieces on

Went down by no more than a length in all three maiden starts last term, including never-nearer second over 7f at Galway when last seen in August; respectable run in Group 3 before that; that Galway run was on yielding to soft but has missed several engagements due to soft ground; first try at 1m.

Several solid runs in maidens and handicaps in 15 starts but obviously not progressive; runner-up in maidens over C&D and 1m2f at Down Royal last twice; a repeat will see him get involved.
