Eight wins, two of them here; latest success was over 7f at Naas in March and ran well in big-field contest at the Curragh next time; disappointed when odds-on for Gowran claimer last week, but picked up a few grazes and she's better than that.

Eight-time winner, five over this trip; landed 7f handicap at Naas on soft two starts ago; ran well off 4lb higher when beaten 6l into sixth at the Curragh 19 days ago; should go well back in trip and has won off higher in the past.

Form & Verdict
Looked potentially smart when winning on last season's return at Newbury over this trip and bounced back from some lesser efforts when runner-up back at that venue on his final start for Clive Cox; same mark and enjoys testing ground but lacks a recent run so fitness is the main question.

Dropping down the handicap has led to a revival in recent months, winning a 1m handicap at Dundalk and a 7f Galway handicap last month; continued in fair form with Listowel fourth; ground versatile, one for the short list.
