Scored at Leopardstown (1m1f, gd-fm) in June off basement mark; hiked up 10lb and beaten just 1l back at Leopardstown before staying on well at Gowran on latest (9.5f, good); worth another go at this trip on that evidence; chance.

Followed a poor effort at Cork with a 33-1 win at Killarney (1m, good) last month, holding on by a short head after making all; backed that up with a C&D third last week, only a nose behind Ella's Gold who bids to advertise the form in the first heat; makes plenty of appeal.
