Five-time winner under NH rules; made a fine Flat debut when second to Banbridge in a 1m6f maiden at Gowran; never seemed to get going in a 1m4f Listowel maiden two weeks ago; would prefer further, but that Gowran run entitles her to plenty of respect here.

Chasing career appeared to be going nowhere fast until popping up at 40-1 in a 3m3f Listed handicap at Punchestown (heavy; cheekpieces removed), in which he was well beaten the year before; whether he'll follow one good run with another is anyone's guess, though the softening ground has helped his cause.
