First home in AW barrier trial before finishing fifth of 20 in heavy-ground Curragh maiden at the back-end; gelded and improved on seasonal return over this trip at Cork last month, not knocked about when staying on over today's trip; won't need to improve too much to play a major role here.

Two wins for Ed Walker last season and positives can be drawn from the fact that one was on his seasonal return and the other was over C&D (good ground); returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark and a promising claimer is booked; contender.
