Ended a long losing run when landing a 1m4f handicap at the Curragh in October; fair third over 1m2f at the same venue five days later; highly tried in a 1m6f Listed event at Bath the following week; takes a big drop in class and holds a clear chance at the weights; however, a record of 1-13 at this venue tempers confidence.
