Okay fourth in the Group 3 Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown on return (7f, soft) and built on that when making all and keeping on well to win a 1m Listed race here last time (good); cheekpieces added and drop back to 7f should be okay; having just his sixth career run so improvement still feasible.

Three of four runs have come at Leopardstown; won maiden there last May (7f, good) and fine 2l third in Group 3 (7f, good) the following month; not seen again until respectable 3l fourth in Group 3 Ballycorus Stakes there (7f, soft) 17 days ago; sharper for that and worth a go at 1m on that evidence; could go well.
