Just 2-22 but has taken the runner-up spot nine times; won on heavy at Leopardstown in October off 5lb lower; decent enough return at Cork (7f, soft) when a 6l sixth; Vega's Muse appears to be stable number one. |

Five C&D wins, the latest from a 3lb lower mark in December; has struggled at double-figure odds on turf lately (Musselburgh and Hamilton) with slow starts a regular feature; drops back into a Class 5 now at a more suitable track, but with enough to prove for the time being. |
