Fitted with blinkers for the first time when making all in a 6f maiden at Dundalk in April; he has followed that with three solid placed efforts in Irish sprint handicaps; ran well in his one run on good to firm ground (as a 2yo); should give his running but minor money perhaps his best hope.

Fair debut over C&D in April; poor run on heavy ground at Gowran later that month; absent until going close against a stablemate of Wololridge in a C&D maiden in September; 69-rated filly may improve enough to trouble the 77-rated gelding Ballintogher.
