Twice runner-up over 6f including Curragh maiden last month before off the mark upped to 7f at same venue 13 days later, relishing trip on soft ground; type to keep progressing and major contender if handling quicker ground.

Mostly running well in defeat this season; beaten 5l when second at Listowel (7f, heavy) a week ago; previously a 3.25l fifth behind Sujet in a rated race at Killarney and is worse off at weights here; would probably prefer softer ground.

Sole win from nine starts came in a 7f Curragh maiden in March (soft); posted a solid effort at Galway on penultimate (8.5f, yld-sft) and 2lb lower now; ground may have been too quick at Killarney on latest; interesting.

1-8, the win coming in a 7f soft-ground maiden at the Curragh; always well positioned when dividing Refreshment and Sujet in a 1m handicap at Galway; didn't quite see that out but todays drier surface may enable a stronger finish.

5f maiden winner at Cork early last season on heavy; highly tried afterwards without success and last month's comeback run in Naas handicap in similar ground was just okay; blinkers now tried and needs to improve plenty.

Juvenile winner for Jim Bolger (Cork, 5f maiden, heavy); disappointing since joining this trainer (0-6), falling 20lb in the weights; slowly away and never involved at Thirsk (6f, good; 40-1) latest; hard to recommend now returning to 7f.

Thrown in on his form for Jim Bolger but he has finished down the field in four runs for new connections, weakening over 7f and 6f; the return of a tongue tie may help, as will the drop into a Class 6, so not discounted back at 5f for the owners who took this race 12 months ago.
