Smart, lightly raced 4yo; never quite fulfilled Leopardstown's Derby Trial second this time last year although did end the campaign on a winning note in 1m2f Cork Listed in September in ready fashion; looks the type to make an even better 4yo upped to this trip; very interesting player.

Ended his 2yo campaign with a Group 1 win, beating Delacroix in the William Hill Futurity; no wins last year, but managed a fine third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and a fair fourth in the Irish Champion Stakes (1m2f); too keen when attempting 1m4f in the Arc; can win races at four and this appeals as a suitable starting point if his fitness holds up.
