Might have been unsuited by heavy ground when tailed off in Listed race at Newbury (100-30) in February, and he'd previously made an excellent impression when winning an Irish point (good to yielding) and a bumper at Warwick (good to soft); surely still has untapped potential and jockey bookings suggest he's the pick of Dan Skelton's three.

Sold for 170,000euros after narrowly winning an Irish point and then fetched £190,000 at the David Maxwell dispersal sale in October; at 7-4, he made light work of market leader Smile John Boy at Warwick (good to soft) and has to be of strong interest.

Won by a head on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, good to yielding) in April; sold for 170,000euros in May then went for £190,000 at the David Maxwell dispersal sale in October; he's joined a top yard for his rules career and he could play a leading role this afternoon.
