3yo gelding is 2-2 in handicaps against his own age group; won over 1m4f at Cork (good) and followed up off 5lb higher at Leopardstown (1m4f, good); raised another 6lb and takes on older rivals now but could be more to come in first-time cheekpieces; leading claims.

Big prices all three maidens but sent off 11-2 on handicap debut at Cork (1m4f, gd-yld) and duly delivered a 0.5l win off 63 (Servare a 3.75l fifth); the third from that race has since hosed up in a maiden; raised 5lb but from a talented family and could be more to come.
