Three-time winner at this venue in handicaps at 7f-1m on good and soft ground; saw out 1m2f well when a 1.5l second over C&D in the Northfields premier handicap last season; just missed black type when fourth in a Listed at Navan (1m, good) on penultimate; rated 94 so unlikely winner but could challenge for a place. |

Shaped well on debut for Johnny Feane in a 6f maiden at Naas last November, staying on late for fourth after starting slowly; confirmed promise at Sligo on seasonal debut; had plenty to spare when winning a 1m Killarney maiden in May, form boosted by the second with an 8l win at Listowel; unexposed sort, holds a leading chance. |
