Highly consistent around this time last season, when his form featured a 1m4f win at Thurles; first past the post over 1m2f at the Curragh but demoted for causing interference; could be a factor if fit and ready for belated seasonal debut.

Is 1-19 on turf; won at Thurles last year off 61 (12.5f, soft); has run well off his current mark the last twice; beaten 1.75l in third at Naas (10.5f) and when sixth of 30 at the Curragh (1m2f) last week, both on yielding ground; this step back up in trip will suit and he handles testing ground; should go well.
