Five wins for Johnny Murtagh; went close for this yard at the Curragh in April (7f, soft); below best in four starts since then; has tumbled in the ratings but will make limited appeal until showing signs of a revival.

Confirmed promise shown in maidens last year when scoring on belated seasonal return and stable debut at Leopardstown nine days ago (7f, gd-yld); up 4lb and drops in trip; possibly wouldn't want to see much rain.

Ordinary form in Britain, just sole 1m AW win to his name; seasonal/stable debut fourth over 1m4f at the Curragh, in this grade, was very good (travelled well and stuck on well) and quite likely he 'bounced' eight days later at Carlisle; has tried different headgear and visor now goes; trainer seems adept at improving recruits.
