Won on debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last August and runner-up to subsequent Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Field Of Gold in the Group 3 Solario here (7f, good) later that month; well beaten in heavy-ground French Group 1 last October, and same story on reappearance in the Craven (1m, good), but he may have needed that latest run and it's too soon to write him off.
