Form & Verdict
Left Gowran debut effort behind to win a 7f maiden here (sft-hvy) last October; won the Madrid handicap at Naas (7f, soft) on seasonal return off 94; that form has taken some knocks but interesting that Moore prefers him to his higher-rated stablemate Neolithic; unproven on quick ground; cheekpieces go on.

Fourth on heavy on debut but marched through the ranks with wins in all his four starts since; the last two were on good going (unraced on firmer) at the Curragh where he asserted by 2l late on in a 1m Listed race and led well over 1f out when prevailing by a head in 1m2f Group 3; the cheekpieces worn on penultimate start are now restored; likely to stay 1m4f and has the best form; needs great respect coming from top stable and a top family.

Consistent gelding whose third to the high-class Talk Of New York in Sandown Listed race (1m, good) last time was just the latest in a string of creditable efforts; should be fine back at 7f but he's beginning to look exposed and the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) needs to give him a lift.
