Some fairly useful form in busy 2yo campaign for Jessica Harrington but both handicap efforts this year for current yard well below that level; cheekpieces back on here on return to maiden company.

Restless in the stalls two runs back so forget that; good runs on either side of it despite being drawn wide and has a kinder stall to work from here; behind My Girl Sioux and Beano Power the last time but not without hope of reversing those placings.

Maiden winner over 5f here for Eddie Lynam in January; returned to form significantly when just failing to get up over 6f here last Friday; might just prefer an extra furlong but looks to have a favourite's chance here.
