Some good efforts in soft-ground handicaps, including seasonal-debut second at Bellewstown (1m3f) when clear of third Obscenity; not at his best at Ballinrobe last time when behind a couple of these.

Half-brother to Group 1 winner Al Riffa not at same level, although mild promise last summer in Galway handicap and best effort yet on last month's return at Bellewstown when a clear second (third has won since) over just shy of 1m4f (soft), only worn down late; 6lb higher but respected, despite wide draw.

Half-brother to Group 1 winner Al Riffa; has run creditably in Flat handicaps on her last two starts; despite running wide into the straight, kept on well to finish fifth of 18 over 1m4f at Galway; close up in third behind today's rival Secret Force (gave 3lb) over 1m3f on heavy ground at Listowel.
