Highly tried at two after winning a maiden on debut; last three runs have been in small-field conditions races over 7f; needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces.

Highly tried at two; bang there the last twice in 7f events, though couldn't make the most of an easy lead here last time when reeled in by one who was rated 79 at the time; likely to need more here.

No success since winning well at Cork (7f, heavy) in March 2024; shaped well at Down Royal last May and 6f was too sharp on first run back at Navan last month; on a dangerous mark if rediscovers best with blinkers back on.
