Made the frame in three races at this venue last season, all won by Ballydoyle-trained colts; most meaningful form when third of five in a 7f Group 2 won by Constitution River; odds-on for a comfortable maiden win at Gowran on reappearance; massive rise in class for his first attempt at this trip.

Ran to a very useful level in three starts last season on varying ground from 6f-7f; beaten 1l on debut behind New Zealand at the Curragh; improved to be beaten 5.5l into third in Group 2 by the smart Constitution River; similar level when second to Trojan Warrior dropped in trip 183 days ago, went with enthusiasm and traded short in-running; handles soft and should be tough to beat on return for yard in form.
