A slightly chequered history but showed what he is capable of when landing a punt emphatically at Dundalk in January; up 16lb for that and ran well on testing ground in a 1m2f Curragh handicap last October; could still be well handicapped.

Dropped to a mark of 54 and bolted up in handicaps at the Curragh and Gowran in October; might have found a third quick run too much a few days later; up to 77 now and that makes it trickier but conditions in his favour and has obvious claims.
