Good form last season, winning C&D premier handicap (good) and second in the Scurry Handicap at the Curragh; matched that effort when beaten a neck in the same venue's Habitat Handicap on seasonal return in May; solid third over C&D before losing out to Suzie Songs in a three-runner Naas contest; has never run in a stakes race, worth a shot. |

Better than ever last summer, winning Cork premier handicap (7f, good) and career-best second in Scurry Handicap at the Curragh; matched that effort when beaten just a neck by Headmaster in the Habitat Handicap back at the Curragh on seasonal return in May and following month fared best of those racing far side when third in repeat Cork bid; in fine form but stiff enough task conceding weight to a pair of less-exposed 3yo fillies. |

Won three handicaps on the trot in May/June last year at 7f-1m1f for Michael Halford; consistent runs this term; well backed at Galway when staying on but not involved (1m4f, yielding); caused interference in the Petingo at Leopardstown latest but stayed on nonetheless without landing a blow; tongue tie on now and this trip can help him. |

Soft or heavy ground is crucial for him, and wisely was given the summer off after winning at the Curragh in April; twice beat Mercurial over C&D in 2024, including in this race; chance is dependent on how much rain falls. |
