Won off 50 here in January (1m) and runner up over C&D off 63 in March but form has nosedived since; well held in 7f-1m handicaps here the last thrice and needs to rediscover best with hood tried last time discarded.

J: Sam Coen

T: Patrick Magee

Consistent here last winter; sole win was over this trip in January, placed six times in all either side of that, over 10.5f latterly; couple of 6f turf runs lately served their purpose, which was to get him back into this grade, and leading claimer knows him.

Form & Verdict
Placed in three of his five starts; slightly concerning that his last two runs have failed to match a Dundalk third behind the useful Currawood; however, this looks like a perfect opportunity for the 76-rated gelding to open his account; blinkers used when fifth of 16 in a handicap last time are left off now.

Went close in Curragh maiden on 2yo debut for Ger Lyons but regressive this year until much improved on last month's handicap debut at Killarney, tearing off into clear lead under today's rider and rallying well once head to finish runner-up over 1m; returns to maiden company here and will have to settle better to see this longer trip out.
