T: C Byrnes

Now with his fifth different trainer; gained an overdue breakthrough at Dundalk on his 26th start; perhaps unlucky not to finish closer at Limerick last month on stable debut, since he almost lost his footing on the final bend; placed 11 times, capable of reaching the money in this grade.

1-26 after signing off with a win for former yard at Dundalk in January (10.5f); some good placed efforts on turf last season; check market for stable debut.

0-25 overall but has placed in four of seven starts on AW; beaten just 1.5l when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago for this rider and same mark here; good chance with a repeat of that.

Form & Verdict
Showed ability in a couple of maidens in 2023 for Roger Varian; not much promise in four outings for this yard last season; difficult to make a case for.

Placed for Roger Varian in 2023; no worthwhile Irish form; in rear in two 2025 outings; new headgear combination.
