Solid efforts in two maidens since returning from nine months off; positive ride narrowly failed over the stiffer five at Navan last time (just behind Beatrix Power and Twotolose); progressive and might be tougher to peg back here.

Narrowly failed when beaten 1l into fourth at Navan in October but just prevailed when landing C&D maiden last month; opening mark is high enough and an outside draw won't help his usual positive tactics, but respected nonetheless.

Form & Verdict
Progressive in two runs to date; still a bit green and unlucky in running when coming home well to be a close third in a Navan maiden last month (Beatrix Power second, Court Phoenix fourth); still open to improvement and should go close if getting the breaks here.

Form & Verdict
13-race maiden includes five runner-up slots; attitude did not particularly impress when touched off in a 6f maiden here last month and down the field in a Navan handicap since; rating entitles him to plenty of respect here but a couple of others have a bit more scope.
