Best maiden effort came on good ground at the Curragh, finishing seventh; it could be that heavy/soft ground hasn't seen him in the best light in his two handicaps, latterly trying blinkers; could be given another chance in the hope that conditions are more suitable here; draw not ideal.

Form & Verdict
Respectable effort at the weights in a claimer last time but looks vulnerable return to a handicap.

Hit the frame in a fillies' maiden over C&D last winter but regressive since and no signs of a revival on yard debut last month.

Career best came when placed in a fillies' maiden over 1m here at the start of the year; was struggling on turf when last seen though and might need this on yard debut after three months off.

Form & Verdict
After winning a Roscommon maiden last summer he went close raised in class at Leopardstown; however, hasn't beaten a rival in 1m/6f handicaps this season.
