Definite step forward on latest when coming from good bit back to chase home a stablemate in Ballinrobe claimer over just shy of this trip, despite running green; cheekpieces now added and major player.

Well beaten in opening three runs here; he sprang a surprise in a 6f three-runner contest last time when landing it as the outsider sporting first-time blinkers and tongue-tie (retained); his mark looks fair for handicap debut, while the step up in trip should be no problem; capable claimer reduces burden as well; big player.

Placed twice in maidens at Roscommon last year and again twice over this trip on the AW early this year; overdid the forcing tactics when disappointing in Ballinrobe claimer on latest, claimed afterwards for 5,000euros; definite chance on his best form.

Maiden was given a tough enough mark on his initial 2yo runs and struggled in a handicap here in January before better effort back in maiden company when staying on third over C&D in first-time tongue-tie; not too much to find with runner-up Arrietty on these revised terms and cheekpieces added.
