Has improved for handicaps; won off 7lb lower at Fairyhouse (7f, good) and another solid effort off revised mark when a close fourth at Naas on latest; can give another good account but very wide draw not ideal.

Needed every yard of this trip to justify strong market support on handicap debut at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago, getting up in three-way photo, still looking green; 7lb rise enough but this stiffer 7f should bring more out of him, major player.

Glimpses of ability in all four maiden runs, both Curragh efforts this term when staying on late over 6f; return to 7f to suit and potential improver entering handicaps.

Ran twice at two; not disgraced at 100-1 when ninth of 15 over 7f at this venue; too keen at Galway when fourth of eight behind Constitution River; looked a possible future winner when keeping fourth in a 16-runner 6f maiden here in March on seasonal/ stable debut.
