Runner-up in Down Royal nursery for Johnny Murtagh and has returned with two solid efforts for current yard without convincingly staying the mile trip, at the Curragh and when weakening late at Cork, both times on soft; drop back in trip and better ground makes him a major player.

Best effort last season a 1.5l second on handicap debut at Down Royal (7f, good); 4l behind Arctic Assassin on seasonal return at the Curragh; weighted to close the gap to that rival and should strip fitter but might prefer quicker ground.

First of two nursery starts brought a promising second at Down Royal; faded in a 7f contest at this venue on final start; has changed stable but Ben Coen keeps the ride.

One of two for yard; much-improved performance on handicap debut when runner up behind Sovereign Thought at Down Royal earlier this month (7f, good); 6lb better off with that rival now and could turn the tables in first time blinkers.

Showed ability in a couple of 6f starts but no improvement for the step up to this trip over C&D when last seen; had a wide trip and may do better now handicapping with first-time cheekpieces fitted.
