An 11-race maiden; respectable form including a close fourth in a Limerick handicap in June and when third in a Galway maiden last month when racing too keenly; respected with the champion jockey booked but needs to find a bit more.

Point winner whose dam won on the Flat as well as over hurdles and fences; trained and ridden by Derek O'Connor when scoring in these colours on debut at Knockanard in February; the form looks very solid, second (Nicky Henderson-trained Jango Baie), third, and fourth have all won in Britain; interesting sort for an "old firm" owner/trainer combination.
