Three runs in Flat maidens for Donnacha O'Brien; gave an improved display when 6l second over a near-1m2f trip on heavy at Gowran in September; best watched in a race in which stablemates Wackestone and Immediate Effect have stronger credentials.

By No Nay Never; brother to winners Hazel (7f; RPR 84) and Dawn Over Owning (1m6f; 73), and half-brother to two winners including Ellipsism (3m hurdle); gelded ahead of this belated debut and would need to see confidence behind him.
