Generally reliable sort since fifth to Finnians Row at Gowran last autumn, winning twice; went up 6lb for 2m4f Limerick success in April; in theory, has a slight edge over A Nod To Getaway on Tipperary running early last month. |

A fair 2m3f hurdles scorer for John Joseph Hanlon but he ended his time there below par; starts out for his new yard on a handy-looking mark though so he's not without interest on the back of wind surgery; visor replaces blinkers. |
