Won decisively at Killarney in July off 9lb lower; ran better than result in follow up bid back there six days ago (14.5f, good, slipped on turn 3f out); not dismissed in first-time blinkers with Billy Lee back on.

Improved switched to handicaps, shaped well here over 1m3f in May before scoring over same C&D 39 days ago, beating Canon Law by 2.5l, who has won since; 9lb higher and longer trip to contend with but leading claims.

Sligo winner over 1m5f in August (yielding) and better again when runner-up at Galway (1m4f, soft), finishing nearly 10l clear of the third horse; that's triggered this 8lb higher mark, which might be troublesome.

Went close when front-running second over an extended 1m3f at Killarney; same tactics used over 1m4f at Cork when faded late to finish fifth; won well over 1m5f at Sligo and ran respectably off his new mark at Roscommon last week; capable of going well despite being 4lb out of the handicap.

Only 3-1 for handicap debut at Sligo in May; ran poorly but maybe soft ground was to blame; gelded since and change of headgear; with the stable so powerful in the 3yo category, plenty will afford him another chance.
