0-4 on the Flat but went close in maidens at the Curragh (1m, heavy) and Bellewstown (11.5f, soft) the last twice; half-brother to a hurdles winner so should take to this game; good ground is a query, however.

Well-bred Godolphin cast-off progressing well in handicaps of late, ready winner over 1m at Gowran and three days later staying on second under hefty weight over today's trip at Ballinrobe; runs off 7lb higher mark here so needs to take another step forward, but possible.

Well-bred Godolphin cast-off makes a quick reappearance after landing a touch over a mile at Gowran on Tuesday in ridiculously easy fashion, value for much more than the 3.5l winning margin; due for a hefty rise so connections' quick to bring him out again under mandatory 7lb penalty and will take all the beating if staying this longer trip (bred to).
