Solid maiden runs first two starts at two and off the mark on handicap debut off 80 at Killarney in August (1m, good); didn't seem to get home in heavy ground at Listowel following month but remains open to progress back on better ground and half-brother to high-class Cloth Of Stars should appreciate this trip.

Gained second career win on latest over C&D (good) and the runner up Zenford has won since; 5lb rise for that short-head success seems fair and his C&D form figures now read 311; should be in the mix again.

Hasn't been disgraced in 6f/7f maidens won by some notable horses; backward step last time at Down Royal when behind a couple in here (positively ridden) but could be interesting off this low a mark on nursery debut.
