Not a great strike rate but likes it soft and excellent run in Curragh premier handicap on Saturday, only tiring late under positive ride; big player if reproducing that level of form.

Form & Verdict
5f specialist had great time for Leanne Breen in 2021 with three wins on good ground including a big pot at the Curragh; very lightly raced in recent years however and recent Laytown run behind several of today's rivals none too encouraging; new headgear combination tried.

Tactically versatile sprinter with fair strike-rate, latest of six wins came over 5f at Tipperary last month (soft); bit to find with Dream Today on recent Laytown run (slowly away) but return to 5f and soft ground should suit.
