Form & Verdict

Not much promise in two points' but showed up better on bumper debut at Cork, beaten 10.5l; improvement is likely, so should shape better now.

Form & Verdict

Some decent efforts in five bumper starts, including when second over C&D in June; not as effective over further on soft at Wexford last time but drier ground back in trip should suit; cheekpieces retained and be in the mix.

Left his first two runs behind when second (albeit well-held) to quality rivals in bumpers at Kilbeggan lately; local connections do well at this track and so looks likely to be involved.

Best run came in a Kilbeggan bumper last year but wasn't far below that level on return there last week; cheekpieces worn then retained but improvement needed.
