Of interest on his good third at Dundalk (5f, Polytrack) in January on final Irish start; fairly encouraging fifth on stable debut at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month; couldn't get into it at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last time and he's just 1-17, but is not written off.

1-16, the win coming in a Naas nursery (5f, good) as a 2yo; may have needed his stable debut at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago and worth a market check off his much lower AW mark.
