Steady improvement in first three runs in decent maidens won by Ballydoyle colts, including getting up on post for third over 7f at the Curragh; softer ground may not have suited when way below his best at Killarney last time (1m); should appreciate return to better ground and big player if staying (blinkers replace cheekpieces).
