Didn't show much in first two starts but made it third time lucky when winning a median sires series race at Naas (6f, good); reappeared with a decent third here behind the evergreen Big Gossey in the Gladness Stakes (7f, sft-hvy); took the scalp of Greek Mythology at Gowran (7f, soft) last time but that rival lacked a recent run; top rated but Moore prefers Causeway.

Stepped up from his first two runs with a 6f win at Naas last July when wearing first-time cheekpieces; a revelation on his reappearance in the Gladness Stakes at the Curragh 11 days ago; belied his 28-1 odds (stablemate Albert Einstein 11-10 fav) with a prominent run, stuck to his task to finish third, splitting older horses rated 109 and 112.

Both wins last year came at 7f, in Down Royal maiden (good) and needed every yard when getting up late in Roscommon winners contest on soft, having previously finished third in very valuable Naas auction contest over inadequate 6f; didn't land a blow in Goffs Million (Curragh) final start and takes a step up in trip here on seasonal return from a yard in hot form; rider's claim negates his double penalty.

33-1 outsider of four on debut in 5f Naas contest won by 1-14 shot Charles Darwin; soundly beaten but should be better for the run and is likely to be better suited by this longer trip, since his dam is a 1m1f winner by Galileo.

Can lead; Naas maiden (6f, good) winner in August for Michael O'Callaghan who wasn't disgraced in a brief two-race spell on AW for Ken Condon; bought for 18,000gns in January; potentially in the best stall and sole start at 7f was inconclusive so heed the market signals on this stable debut/reappearance.
