Well-backed to make it a successful stable debut at Chester (2m3f, good) when the line came too soon; previously won a Tramore maiden (1m4f, good to yielding) for Jessica Harrington; up 3lb for his Chester exertions but the choice of McMonagle and could improve over that seasonal return.

Fifth start when winning a 1m4f Tramore maiden last August, looking as if he would stay further; it was heavy ground when he had a respectable attempt at 1m6f handicap next time, so he remains unexposed on this first start since leaving Jessica Harrington for 90,000gns in October; could be major player.

Lawman gelding showed a glimmer of promise when midfield at 10-1 on debut at Kilbeggan (15.5f, gd-yld) but was still beaten 20l; should improve for that initial experience but will need a lot more to win this.
