Commentary

Winner over 1m at the Curragh (good to firm) in June. Good in-frame efforts on next 3 starts (including third in Irish Cambridgeshire) but below par in 1¼m handicap at the Curragh on Irish Champions weekend.

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. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.
