Six-race maiden; minor improvement when finishing 2½L fourth (100-1) to Filbert Street over C&D (penultimate); failed to build upon that glimmer of promise next time; best opposed.
Former Irish racer (P. Twomey); runner-up on three of his six starts, including here on Sunday when unable to reel in the front-running filly Astrozone; won't ever get a better chance to break the maiden.

A poor turnout. XIAN EXPRESS fought out the finish with Astrozone here on Sunday, and with the defection of that Bryan Smart-trained filly won't ever get a better chance to break the maiden status.
