Form & Verdict
Three turf wins include one at Fairyhouse (6f) in 2024; high head-carriage proved his undoing when second off his reduced mark at the same venue on Wednesday; had excuses at the same track last week (upset in stalls, not clear run) when well backed in an apprentice handicap won by Monastere.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

Went close at Fairyhouse over 7f (good) and went one better to notch fifth win 23 days ago when beating El Fontenaro by 0.75l over 6.5f at Limerick; the pair pulled well clear and the runner-up won next time out, so has obvious claims off 9lb higher.
