Best known for his sprinting exploits and he bagged a big cheque in a premier handicap here in September, after which he again went close here in a Group 3 (soft); these terms are favourable but the trip is a worry.

Lightly raced and was second to Little Big Bear in last year's Group 3 Anglesey Stakes; suffered a shock reversal on his reappearance but did it comfortably in a 6f maiden here in September (yielding to soft) and he retains plenty of potential, especially now up in trip (stamina in pedigree).

Quiet the last twice after winning a 5f Cork handicap after an absence in April; fine over this far and on testing ground, but something to prove now.

Possibly needed the run at the Curragh 11 days ago in a race contested by Jon Riggens and Mickey The Steel; early-season winner in testing conditions at Cork; only 2lb higher now; capable of a big run with a valuable 7lb claimed. |

Has recorded all six turf wins at this track and wasn't far off his best when second at Navan on his penultimate run (5.5f but fine at 7f); however, looks to be relying on a couple of these being below par.

Has acquitted himself quite well in good company, including when beaten just over seven lengths in the Irish 2,000 Guineas; good fourth in a 7f Galway maiden last time and should make his presence felt in an ordinary maiden. |
9/2 |
