0-5 on turf; best effort on penultimate start at Navan (1m6f, good) last month, beaten 0.5l off 65; failed to back that up in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) dropped to this trip at Listowel; down 1lb for that and ran well on soft in a maiden in April; can't be discounted.

Big prices and well beaten in four maidens on varying ground; first sign of ability on handicap debut at Tipperary (1m1f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) earlier this month, staying on late and beaten 4.25l; step up in trip should suit and related to soft ground winners; interesting.
