Got off the mark for his current yard at Chelmsford (7f) in November and has continued in decent nick, third of seven in 7f Southwell handicap 40 days ago; no forlorn hope.

Third in 7f handicaps at Lingfield on his last two starts; doesn't look the easiest ride but Donagh Murphy is fine value for his 5lb claim against other apprentices; no obvious reason why he wouldn't give another good account at a track he ran well at last October.

0-14 starts but some promise shown in defeat; hit the frame three times here this year over 7f ; he was just 1.25l behind Eric Lock at Down Royal in May (7f) and again ran positively at Limerick next time when third (1m); below par at Bellewstown last time; he's on a lower mark now compared to his good runs here earlier in the year.
