Some good runs in defeat before finally off the mark at 25th attempt in 6f claimer here a week ago, bit slowly away but coming off decent pace to win going away; claimed then and quick return over extra furlong (for only second time) for new connections; usual tongue tie left off.

Got upset in the stalls when contesting a 5f maiden at Navan last month, fifth to Greek Flower (a handicap winner since) was a respectable effort in the circumstances, and he was a neck in front of today's rival First Gentleman; ran about the place when fifth over 7f here two weeks ago; interesting now with cheekpieces on and Colin Keane aboard.

Clear prospects on his best form but there are several negatives attached to his profile too; beaten favourite on four occasions since a promising debut at the Curragh in May; appears to have lost form, though run was too bad to be true in 6f Curragh maiden in which Nouvel Espoir was third.
