Commentary

Justified cramped odds in 8-runner maiden at the Curragh on debut in May. 11/4, 4¼ lengths ninth of 25 to King of Cloughan in listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) in June. Looks sure to do better the more his stamina is drawn out and remains open to progress.

Stepping up in grade without clear higher-class evidence yet. Not automatically a negative, especially for a lightly-raced or progressive type.
