Lightly raced 4yo and form of his last couple of runs in particular stacks up very well

Talented 5yo but all his best form has come on ground softer than good and over a mile

Ex-Ballydoyle colt bought for 10,000gns; comfortable winner of a maiden here recently

Group 3 win came on heavy and conditions were soft for last season's best efforts
