Has raced exclusively at the Curragh, most recently coming up well short in the Irish 2,000 Guineas behind two of today's rivals; progressive otherwise and comfortably bagged Listed honours the time before; may do better still but needs to prove he's Group 1 class and Henri Matisse is the stable's chief contender.

3yo who has improved with each of his six runs, going close in a Group 3 at Leopardstown (1m, good) in August and winning a Group 2 there (1m, good to yielding) last month; today's company demands a further chunk of improvement but he might be dangerous to rule out in view of his progressive profile.
