His sole turf win came as a 2yo at Bellewstown; has a much better AW record; not bad runs lately, including when midfield in C&D premier handicap latest when out of the weights; needs to find more.

Yet to add to 2024 Bellewstown maiden win; modest first start for this yard at the Curragh a week ago; on a dangerous mark on best form and Colin Keane up but wouldn't want to see much rain.

Seven wins up to 7f with latest coming at the Curragh over 6f in August before a lesser Fairyhouse run; all his best form is on faster ground so this isn't ideal.

Form & Verdict
Useful sprinter won twice last year over 5f at Cork but has been absent since that last success in July; previously won a C&D maiden and is off a 6lb lower AW mark so has to be considered even though he lacks a recent run.

Fine at 5f or 6f; in a new tongue-tie when winning narrowly at Naas and then had some of these behind when second of 24 in a valuable 6f handicap here two weeks ago; blessed with a similar draw and with Reese Holohan taking off 7lb, he's a player.

Was gaining first win at this trip when defying top-weight at Naas last month in a first-time tongue-tie, settling better; previously didn't get home over extended 6f of Scurry Handicap when seventh of 20 behind Sondad but may well get a lot closer this time.

Several good runs in a busy campaign; 3lb out of the weights but a repeat of his close fourth in a premier handicap here in June wouldn't see him far away; reportedly pulled a front shoe when below par last time.
