T: Ross O’Sullivan

0-14 starts but some promise shown in defeat; hit the frame three times here this year over 7f ; he was just 1.25l behind Eric Lock at Down Royal in May (7f) and again ran positively at Limerick next time when third (1m); below par at Bellewstown last time; he's on a lower mark now compared to his good runs here earlier in the year.

Steadily improving maiden handicapper, notably with cheekpieces fitted of late at Down Royal (behind Eric Lock) and when made much of running in finishing third at Limerick; not sure this extra furlong will suit.

Placed AW form at this trip and more encouraging turf run on latest when cheekpieces tried at Down Royal, close fifth after not clear run; one to consider in similar conditions.

First reserve; 0-11 overall and 0-6 on turf; best efforts have come on the AW; well-beaten on heavy ground at Gowran latest (1m); drops in trip and different ground here; needs more in first-time cheekpieces.
