Best of two maiden runs was finishing 6l behind subsequent Group 3 winner Mission Central at the Curragh (6f, good); outclassed in a Group 2 back at that track in August (7f, good); slowly away and always behind in the Goffs Million most recently (7f, soft); cheeckpieces go on now and he could get involved back at this level.

Got off the mark on final start last year when winning a Naas maiden over this trip, narrowly beating Michael's Well; the cheekpieces worn then are left off and has been gelded since; has early speed and could cope with this trip but looks the stable second-string.

Made 125,000gns at the breeeze-ups; second to Chicago Pope here on debut, went one better at Navan with odds-on Ocean's Breath only fourth; big drifter in market when poor at Cork on comeback, but capable of much better; has only encountered easy ground thus far.

By a leading sire, especially of sprinters; both runs over 6f last year; improved from his narrow Naas debut defeat to win at Navan on soft next time; no easy task under top-weight dropped to 5f on return but still progressing so respected.
