Two hurdle wins; beaten a long way in two handicap chases during the summer; addition of blinkers seemed to do the trick when second to today's rival The Striker Dylan at Sligo; would have gone closer but for interference; should be in the mix again. |

Off the mark in a Gowran handicap hurdle in October last year (2m, good); has been disappointing in four runs since, evenly spread between Flat and hurdles; reported to have burst a blood vessel at Cork in August when pulled up; remains 4lb above last winning mark. |

Ex Irish; took a while to warm to the task for this trainer but he's getting the hang of things now and there was plenty to like about the manner in which he knuckled down to see off Cahier's Den at Newcastle (3m, good to soft) six weeks ago; still lowly weighted despite a token rise; player. |

1-7 in Irish points and 0-12 under rules; 12l third of ten in recent C&D handicap (good to soft) was, however, easily his best show in four starts for this yard, so all hope may not be lost. |
