Sturdy colt: smart performer: won maiden at Leopardstown (by 3¼ lengths from Ortelius) in April: off 6 weeks and in first-time blinkers, 10/1, much improved when 1¼ lengths second of 16 to Tabletalk in Melrose Stakes (Handicap) at York last time, travelling strongly: stays 1¾m: acts on good to firm and heavy going: likely to progress further.
