Losing run since July 2023 but has been giving the impression his turn may be near again in two starts for his new yard; yet to try further than 1m2f on the Flat but has shaped like it would suit at times and one to consider.

2-17 on AW, 0-15 on turf; did not appear again last year after finishing third of 19 in a 1m apprentice handicap at Leopardstown in May; after a year off, plenty to like about his stable debut at Listowel ten days ago, ran on to take third ahead of today's rival Linger For Longer.

Better AW performer; improved for better ground when a never-nearer third of 19 in an apprentice handicap at Leopardstown (1m, good) when last seen around this time last year; best watched on return/stable debut.
