Tame enough Derby Trial effort; entitled to come on for that and quicker ground may suit

Improved for stamina test here last month; back in trip and much quicker ground

Would have gone very close but for being hampered in Dundalk maiden; open to improvement

Much improved this spring with step up in trip; should go well if handling fast ground
