Form & Verdict

Shaped with promise on debut before a third behind Italy at Leopardstown and another good run in defeat when beaten 1l in a 7f Curragh maiden; shown less at 1m since though and now tried without headgear; sets the standard if he can get back to his best.

Minor promise when sixth of nine on debut but disappointing in three runs since and didn't show anything when stepped up to 7f on handicap debut earlier this month; up in trip and now tried with cheekpieces; plenty to find.
