Added his second course win in December when making virtually all over 1m4f and made light work of a 6lb rise when comfortably scoring over C&D last time, with Black Gem 3l behind; hit with a 7lb hike, but he may not be finished improving.

Form & Verdict
Improved for switch to AW handicaps for Sean Davis, winning off 50 (10.5f) then second off 58 (1m4f) at Dundalk in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); has since joined Charles Byrnes; obvious chance if as effective on turf (pedigree suggests he will be).
