Hints of ability at Dundalk during the winter; showed improved form to win when raised in trip at Ballinrobe; up 6lb now, strong contender whose chance could be advertised by Ballinrobe runner-up Accelereight in the first heat of this contest; the form of the Ballinrobe race already looks solid.

Missed a good chance to win one when hung left late on at Gowran, finishing third over 1m; 3-1 fav when turned out three days later at Ballinrobe, ran a stinker; cheekpieces tried then left off; some stamina on dam's side of pedigree so might stay, but prefer to look elsewhere, as does Foley.
