Two-time winner at 2m4f-3m; has run well on two of last three starts, including a 6.5l second here (3m1f, sft-hvy) in December; should be staying on at the finish at this trip; place shout at least. |

Sole win came over this sort of trip at Killarney in August 2023; running well in defeat from this sort of mark at the end of 2024 and may have needed this month's return at Tipperary; some rain would be in his favour. |

Underwhelming in opening three handicap starts, but was well backed at Downpatrick in August and landed the odds (2m2f, good); ran well off revised mark back there over the same distance when third; stepped up in trip at Clonmel last time and was sent off favourite again but didn't get past the second; should be thereabouts with a clear round. |
