One of three runners for Aidan O'Brien; runner-up at Dundalk (10.5f, AW) on return and went one better when 8-13 in another maiden at the Curragh (1m2f, good) two months later, comfortably in the end but he was pushed along over 3f out; has many a big-race entry and brings clear potential, plus probable stamina, to this handicap debut.
