Made a good impression when winning on debut at Dundalk (1m) in April; found things a lot tougher stepping into Listed company on turf debut at the Curragh (1m, good) in early May; appeared not to stay 1m2f at Navan in July; cheekpieces now added to tongue-tie

Maiden; five of his six starts have been over C&D and finished runner-up in three of those; a 0.5l runner-up in November off 4lb lower and winner followed up next time in a rated race; squeezed for room in a maiden last time but recovered to again take second; he's knocking on the door.
