Form & Verdict
Won a Curragh 6f maiden on debut and has run fine races in defeat in group company since up to this trip; hasn't been far behind some of Europe's top juveniles, namely Gstaad, Zavateri and Rayif in that time; sights lowered today and will take some beating if handling this surface.

Listed winner at Dundalk (7f, AW) last October and running well in defeat this year, particularly at the Curragh (1m, good; Listed) this month when 2l runner-up in first-time cheekpieces (retained); with a clear run he'd have finished closer last time and holds each-way claims under a 3lb penalty.

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.
