Half-brother to Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Siskin; has looked limited in maidens; a bit better at Down Royal on Friday; quick reappearance is potentially significant; may be competitive at this modest level.

Hints of ability at Dundalk during the winter; showed improved form to win when raised in trip at Ballinrobe; up 6lb now, strong contender whose chance could be advertised by Ballinrobe runner-up Accelereight in the first heat of this contest; the form of the Ballinrobe race already looks solid.

Ran well at a big price over 7f at this track on only nursery start; open to improvement and perhaps the addition of cheekpieces will help.
