Huge improvement when winning a Down Royal nursery (7f, good) by 5.5l on handicap debut; runs off 13lb higher now; respectable third behind a talented pair in 1m Listowel rated latest; should run well from inside draw. |

Second runner for yard; mild promise in a trio of maidens at 6f to 1m; huge improvement on handicap debut over 7f (good), landing a nursery at Down Royal by 5.5l off 67; got a 13lb hike for that and steps back up to 1m now in a tougher race; Ronan Whelan keeps the faith and he should go well again. |

Three quick runs in country maidens in May (money for him on second start) where he didn't show an awful lot; quickly gelded and has been given time; was taken out of a maiden earlier in the week due to heavy ground; 2lb wrong. |

0-9 so far; best effort when third of 12 on soft at Galway last August off a mark of 61; failed to build on that and was beaten almost 7l when trying 5.5f at Sligo; looks the yard's second string on jockey bookings. |
