Some positive efforts in his ten Flat runs; went close in a Curragh nursery last September off 72; returned from a break with a 2.5l third at Limerick in July when hampered by a faller and catching the attention of the stewards; below that level at Galway later that month; makes stable debut and an interesting contender.

Third runner for yard; went close in a 7f nursery at the Curragh last September off this rating; back to form when hampered by fallers and catching the attention of the stewards at Limerick 16 days ago; tongue tie is added to cheekpieces; can't discount off the same mark.

Went closest to scoring on nursery debut over 7f at the Curragh last year but has been below that level in three starts at 1m since; the step up in trip on faster ground with cheekpieces needs to help.
