Form & Verdict
Has contested some good-class maidens, catching the eye in fourth on debut at Gowran (7f, soft) and arguably a better run when sixth at the Curragh (7f, good); far too keen in first-time tongue-tie at Down Royal and has been gelded since; cheekpieces added here; could go well.

Improved markedly since handicapping, runner-up here over 6f before scoring over this trip at Galway (beating Invincible Will by a diminishing 1/2l on soft); stiff task but ran above his mark in very valuable Ballyhane Stakes (6f) on latest, up 3lb as a result; returns to 7f and needs to improve again.

One of two for yard; has progressed since tackling handicaps, winning at Galway off 72 and runner up over this C&D off 81 last time out (4lb higher now); decent run in the Ballyhane sandwiched between those efforts; needs to improve further to win off this mark.

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.
