Won three handicaps on the trot in May/June last year at 7f-1m1f for Michael Halford; consistent runs this term; well backed at Galway when staying on but not involved (1m4f, yielding); caused interference in the Petingo at Leopardstown latest but stayed on nonetheless without landing a blow; tongue tie on now and this trip can help him.

Disappointing favourite on heavy ground in blinkers at Killarney but much better at Fairyhouse since when didn't get a clear run until too late; raised 3lb for that but should still go close; doesn't want too much rain, mind.
