Won a 1m2.5f Dundalk maiden in March and a decent effort on handicap debut over a furlong shorter at Gowran on soft; raised 3lb but going back up in trip on better ground should help.

Form & Verdict
Has been kept busy but relishing his workload, scoring for the fifth time when making all in 1m2f Navan premier handicap last month, rallying well; up to a career-high now but admirable sort and no surprise if he went close again.

Won three times in Ireland for Mick Mulvany, including at Listowel (1m, heavy) last September; low key in five starts for new trainer, slipping 9lb in the weights - now 1lb below that last winning mark; needs revival on AW return (3-9).

Appreciated the step up in trip to 1m4f-plus when winning at Thurles on his final start last season; ex-Dermot Weld; further improvement possible for his new trainer; this may not be far enough to bring out the best in him.

J: Chris Hayes

T: D K Weld

Eight-race maiden and one of his better recent efforts when beaten 3l in a Gowran claimer last time out; two previous efforts over further than 1m haven't been encouraging so new trip is the main concern but stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree.

Maiden ran okay in first-time blinkers in her second handicap start at Gowran (1m, heavy); failed to back that up in first-time cheekpieces back there latest but drops in grade now and the blinkers go back on; one of the more interesting ones.

One of four for yard; progressive in handicaps last season, winning three of his last four; commanding win at Listowel in September off 90 (1m3f, heavy); folded tamely when sent off favourite for 1m4f Listed event here in November; will need to be in top order to defy 12lb higher mark on return.
