Ran nine times for Ollie Sangster, winning twice as a 2yo, also Listed-placed last season; excellent debut for this stable when winning Group 3 at the Curragh in April (1m, soft-to-heavy); backed up that run in less testing conditions when beaten 3l into seventh in Group 2; now has to bounce back from a disappointing Leopardstown run; cheekpieces on.
