Just outpointed on debut at Naas; step up to 1m likely to suit and should go close

Mix of speed and stamina in his pedigree; National Stakes entry and the choice of Moore

Underwhelming debut effort at Killarney last week; best watched for now
9 (8)	Ringside Timing Bay J:Rory Cleary T:J S Bolger	J:Rory Cleary T:J S Bolger	133	—	7	-	65	52	5d	—	—	-2	0.8	12.25/1	50 2%
