Commentary

Confirmed debut promise when clear-cut winner of maiden at Naas. Did too much too soon in first-time blinkers when down the field in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot on sole run for Kevin Philippart De Foy but resumed progress when winning at Dundalk last week. Much more needed again, though.

What the class read says

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