Progressing well on AW for current yard, recording a second win at Dundalk last month off 61 before solid third there next time; couldn't transfer that form to turf at Bellewstown last time when tailed off (1m4f, soft); perhaps better ground can suit more, but likelihood is that he's better on AW.

Didn't show much in opening two maidens but getting the hang of things since, finishing fifth of 11 in a 1m Limerick maiden before hitting the crossbar over extended 1m2f at Naas on handicap debut; another reasonable maiden run over C&D last time; tongue-tie on now and he is appealing.
