8yo who only made his debut in March but is making up for lost time after winning a Ballinrobe maiden (2m, good to yielding) with plenty to spare; the RPR of 130 he delivered that day bodes well.

Competitively campaigned in the past year, often in small-field conditions race; third in the Kerry National and filled the same position in a Grade 2 at Down Royal; out of his depth in a 2m Grade 3 event at Naas before an excellent display in finishing second in the Troytown Chase.

Workmanlike in making a winning debut at Ballinrobe (2m1f, soft) and the runner-up has since finished second in a handicap, so the form is worth something; tackling classier opposition here, however.

Form & Verdict
It's taken a while but now getting back to the good form she showed in bumpers, finishing a well-held third in a 2m4f Grade 1 for mares at Fairyhouse before winning from the front at Cork (2m3f, yielding); wasn't exactly silky smooth with her jumping there but she's got some class about her; penalised.
