Maiden winner over 7f at Gowran last September and a creditable sixth of 30 in the Goffs Million; had no luck in running in the Tetrarch Stakes over C&D earlier in the month; 97-rated colt faces an unenviable task; tongue-tie fitted.

Placed here on debut (7f, good) in August and won a Gowran maiden (7f, gd-yld) the following month; respectable sixth in Goffs Million on final start of last season; no match for Hardy Warrior on return at Naas (1m, soft); return to quicker ground a plus but more needed up in class.

Denied a clear run before keeping for third on debut over 7f at the Curragh in August; despite still looking raw, confirmed that positive impression when scoring over the same trip at Gowran ten days later (good-to-yielding); emerged with credit when sixth in the 30-runner Goffs Million on soft at the Curragh; 15lb below Hardy Warrior on official figures.

Promise over C&D on debut and built on that when a comfortable winner at Gowran despite still looking green; seems to be the pick of the yard's three runners on jockey arrangements so considered.

A E300,000 yearling; half-brother to 1m Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac winner Albigna; big price when shaped with a good deal of promise at the Curragh; had to wait for a clear run before keeping on for third.
