Fair middle-distance Flat maiden in Ireland; comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) on hurdle/stable debut but flopped at Catterick next time and again below form back here (behind two of these) on latest start; carries his head awkwardly; questions to answer.

Belied 40-1 odds when creditable third at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in March but weakened quickly after making a lot of the running over C&D (good; visored, as today) three weeks ago and is now 0-9 for stable; needs recent wind op to have made a big difference.

Two placings this spring give him a chance but they were followed by two lesser efforts and latest was C&D when tongue tied first time since 2024; visor (used twice in 2025) returns instead of usual cheekpieces; stable runs two.

A tongue-tie is added after his Kelso disappointment and his two previous runs in 2m5f/2m3f handicaps certainly bring him into the equation; unraced here.

Best run in three starts came when 3l behind today's rival Blazing Sunset in a 1m2.5f maiden at Sligo last time; is 4lb better off with that rival today and has the aid of cheekpieces, so should get closer.

Fine run on debut at Leopardstown last summer but ran as if something was amiss next time; matched that debut run on reappearance at Dundalk and if improving from that has a chance on handicap bow with blinkers added.

Promising fourth at Leopardstown but bombed out on second 7f start and has been off since July; dam was a champion 3yo dirt filly in US so she should enjoy this surface; tongue-tie and big step up in trip.
