Fourth in big-field handicaps at the Curragh and Leopardstown before making the most of a good opening returned to maiden company at Killarney (1m, soft; first-time cheekpieces); RPR of 85 was eyecatching with a view to today's mark; unproven on drier ground and stall 18 could be better, but interesting nonetheless.
