Won twice over middle distances on the Flat in his native Denmark; absent for 579 days until staying on into mid-division (beaten only 7l) in 2m Thurles maiden hurdle last month, a mistake two out not helping his cause; another satisfactory run at Tramore 12 days ago, though without showing improvement.
