7f Brighton maiden win in September 2024; yet to score for this yard, best effort when third in a rated race at Limerick last summer (6.5f, good), most recent run at Naas 10 days ago not without promise and return to 7f could suit.

Record of 2-42 (1-28 on turf); didn't look like a winner in waiting during a winter AW campaign and below-par again on return to the turf at Navan (6f, heavy); 5f more suitable but needs a revival.
