Won her maiden over C&D in October and returned with a C&D success last month; however, form of those races is nothing special and she finished last in a Listed race over a bit further here a fortnight ago.

C&D maiden winner and second to Kendall Roy in C&D Listed in June; took full advantage of good opportunity in minor Naas contest earlier this month, much tougher back in this grade but could go well and easier ground may suit.

Sole win in 20 starts came in Cork maiden in October 2024, but has been in excellent form this year in sprints, including runner-up efforts in Listed company over C&D (behind Mission Central) and Cork; never involved here 12 days ago, but type to bounce back and enjoys this track; the one to beat.

Sole win in 19 starts came in Cork maiden but has strung together a series of good efforts in decent sprint company this season, notably seconds in Listed events both here and at Cork, most recently third in conditions event here early in the month; best form at 5f so possibly vulnerable at this longer trip.

Form & Verdict
Career best to get off the mark in a 6f Dundalk maiden last month and only beaten half a length on handicap debut at Naas last week; up 5lb but warrants respect and gives the impression he has the speed for this first try at 5f.

Fitted with blinkers for the first time when making all in a 6f maiden at Dundalk in April; he has followed that with three solid placed efforts in Irish sprint handicaps; ran well in his one run on good to firm ground (as a 2yo); should give his running but minor money perhaps his best hope.

Went close on turf last season and having been gelded at the back-end of last term, he returned with a 5f maiden success at Dundalk; didn't manage to kick on when making his handicap debut in February; not obviously well treated but yard excel with their sprinters and he's not one to put a line through.
