Narrow defeat in a Sligo maiden in early August followed by a good third on nursery debut at the Curragh; another decent effort off this mark at Fairyhouse on latest; needs to find a bit more to get his head in front.

Bred to be sharp and had Raphello a place behind (two lengths) over C&D a fortnight ago and Believe in Glory back in fourth; a bit green early that day but yard are flying in recent weeks and he was well backed for that debut; expect a bold bid here.
