Form & Verdict
Second behind a decent type in a four-runner event at Roscommon on heavy in August; disappointed when heavily backed for Navan claiming maiden next time; decent run when sixth of 16 behind a pair of Group 1-entered fillies at Galway (7f, yielding) latest; much respected on handicap debut in first-time blinkers.
