Comment: Looks the part on breeding (by Yorkton) and some promise; closest he has come to winning after three starts was a second; close up behind Little Thonio when fifth here over 1m½f (maiden special weight) six months ago; returns from an absence here; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.
