Form & Verdict
Made a very encouraging debut when third behind the Aidan O'Brien-trained Daytona in 1m Listed event at Naas last July; but below that level in a Leopardstown maiden later that month on softer ground; faded late into fourth in a 1m1f maiden at Tipperary in August; has been gelded.

Failed to win at two, but got off the mark on second start of this season in 1m2f (yielding) maiden at Navan; never landed a blow on handicap debut in the King George V handicap at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) last time; capable of better, but has to prove he handles quick ground.

Started his career in a Listed race but it wasn't until his fifth start that he got off the mark, showing improved form with a switch to front-running in a maiden at Navan (1m2f, yielding); saw off a serious challenge that day and there's enough stamina in the family for 1m4f to be interesting.

Sets a decent standard here off a mark of 85; beaten a nose over 7f at Dundalk on second handicap start in November and made a positive seasonal return at Navan in April when a 3l third of 18 (1m2f, good to yielding); Navan handicap debut last time was below his best (1m2f, yielding); evidence to date suggests this new trip is within reach.
