Form & Verdict
Sole turf success came on soft ground but has a good record on AW (two wins, two seconds from six starts), so could be suited by this surface; struggling for form this season but there were signs of a revival when fourth in a Sligo claimer last month; definite chance despite a moderate Clonmel run last time.

Is 1-16 on turf and no win since June 2023; not bad efforts the last twice in a Naas handicap and a Gowran claimer but more needed back in a handicap off this mark; others appeal more.
