Form & Verdict

Finished third behind subsequent Royal Ascot winners Gstaad and True Love over 6f at Navan on debut; ran green then and still looked a bit raw when losing out by a neck to a Ger Lyons-trained newcomer over the same trip at Cork; well clear of Euro 1m yearling purchase Skychase then; by a Group 1-winning sprinter; has shown plenty of speed, hard to oppose.

Second-favourite on debut at Cork; raced a bit too keenly and ran out of steam; failed to improve at Down Royal last week; might be one for nurseries later on.
