Smart at his best, once had a rating of 110; nothing like the horse he was but has found plenty of excuses not to win as well; didn't fare that well on his claimer debut last month but capable of better. |

Third runner for yard; 1-23, the win coming on the sand at Laytown (7f); hasn't shown much in his most recent runs over this C&D; may have needed latest after almost a year off but would have liked to see a bit more spark; notable jockey booking but others preferred. |

Kept on well to win a 9.4f 0-50 classified race at Wolverhampton in March (for Rossa Ryan); not so good when seventh behind Haveagobeau at Lingfield (1m2f) six weeks ago; others are stronger for win purposes. |

Not beaten far when fourth of five in recent 5f race won by Savannah Smiles (heavy ground) but is effectively on the same mark from 2lb out of the weights today and has very modest 1-33 strike-rate. |

3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

22nd Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

A few near-misses over C&D off higher marks since coming over from Ireland and didn't run badly on turf last time, when done for toe over 5f back from a break; wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up despite the wide stall. |

Second runner for yard; four AW wins; 1-16 on turf; kept very busy on AW in recent months, on latest collared close home when runner-up over 7f off current mark; 7lb claimer takes over from Colin Keane; one to consider. |
