41-race maiden has run poorly in recent starts and makes no appeal from 2lb out of the handicap.

Form & Verdict
Modest form so far but better for respectable Leopardstown return after a year off; drops in trip and cheekpieces added to hood.

Overcame a troubled passage when getting up late to win a 1m2f classified at Lingfield on second start for this yard but he just couldn't pick up over the shorter trip at Wolverhampton (about 1m) next time; unraced here but acts on Tapeta and remains of interest with more suitable test.

Built upon encouraging stable debut (over C&D) when winning 1m2f Lingfield classified in refitted cheekpieces on Monday, opening his account at the 18th attempt; has 5lb penalty on this handicap return but still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood.
