Was a long-standing maiden over middle distances, but dam was a capable sprinter and dropping him back to 6f in a pair of blinkers has done the trick; followed up breakthrough win at Navan when winning in only slightly lower grade here; prominent racer got an uncontested lead then, but might have more to offer nonetheless.

Back-to-back 6f wins on good (including here) in July but handles an ease; 1l behind Amiata over 6f here on penultimate and 5lb better off now; was on the wrong side of the track over C&D three days ago so that run can be marked up; this is a stronger race, however, and 2lb wrong but has a place shout.

Has run some good races in handicaps this term, notably his fifth of 20 in the Scurry Handicap at the Curragh, but nonetheless hasn't lived up to market expectations on several occasions; discarding the headgear backfired when he was never travelling over 6f at the Curragh last time; now blinkered and steps up in trip.

A little bit hard to figure him out but, to be charitable, probably still learning his trade; unlucky fourth to Chicago Pope early in the season; staying-on fifth of 20 in the Scurry here was a good effort; ridden 2f out and just stuck on one-paced when third at Naas latest; visored last twice, now goes unaided.
