Form & Verdict
Cost $1.8 million as a yearling; the stable third string (according to jockey bookings and the market) on his Curragh debut (7f, good) but that was a promising start to be fourth of 14 having got outpaced; steps up to 1m and should be sharper all round here.

Could never get seriously involved at Leopardstown (1m) after getting behind early but he made some promising late gains in the closing stages; likely improver and interesting that he holds the Group 1 National Stakes entry.

Rated only 80 when outrunning odds of 300-1 as a pacemaker for his successful stablemate Zahrann in a Group 3 at the Curragh last time; unwise to take that form at face value given the balance of his achievements and Ben Coen prefers Reyenzi.
