Some promising efforts at two without winning; has made a flawless start to his 3yo career, winning a Gowran maiden (7f, soft) and a C&D handicap (good) off 83; now rated 88 and worth his place in this field but probably needs to take another big step forward.

Solid maiden runs first two starts at two and off the mark on handicap debut off 80 at Killarney in August (1m, good); didn't seem to get home in heavy ground at Listowel following month but remains open to progress back on better ground and half-brother to high-class Cloth Of Stars should appreciate this trip.
