On a long losing run since gaining his sixth career win in a Limerick claimer in 2023; not beaten far in four 2025 outings; suffered interference in the early stages when well fancied at Gowran last time; potentially interesting with a top apprentice booked.

Form & Verdict
Once rated much higher, he was a decisive winner off a modest 56 on second start for this yard at Leopardstown in April; unlucky in running here later that month; won a similar race over further at Gowran last week; this looks like a stronger contest, but has the merit of being in good form.
