Two wins last season including a Goodwood handicap off 93 (1m4f, good); signed off with a Listed third at Dundalk (10.5f); slowly away and never involved on return at the Curragh (1m2f, soft); this ground much more his bag but not certain that the drop back to 1m will suit and overlooked by McMonagle.

Easily got off the mark in an optional claiming race at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) on third start; made further marked improvement when winning a four-runner handicap at Leopardstown (1m1f, good to yielding) later in July, again making all; this is a sterner test in every respect but 1m4f looks plausible and she's unexposed, heading the right way.
