Form & Verdict

Was the only one to make up any ground from rear when fourth of 14 in a Curragh maiden at the end of last month, finishing a place behind Sujet; may ultimately come into his own over a bit further but suspicion the ground will be fine and he's entitled to improve.

Form & Verdict

Had a tough trip when staying on for an eyecatching fifth in a 1m Killarney maiden on debut behind some nice types and was then third behind Shackleton (third in Zetland last week) at the Curragh last month; doesn't look the biggest but seems tough and genuine and his latest effort at the Curragh just about sets the standard here; should go well if he handles softer ground.
