Tony Mullins' four-year-old won a moderate maiden at Cork by ten lengths and then stepped up in class on this track next time.
He produced a decent effort to beat hot-pot and previous dual winner, Silent Jo, by a length, having made all the running.
The selection's latest effort was when finishing down the field in a mile handicap at the Curragh and that should have left him spot-on for this test.

Dusty Sheehy's charges have found a bit of form and his August, also with just a single outing under his belt, can provide the solution to the Coors Lite "Bring Your Passport'' Bumper.
