Unplaced in four Flat runs; has been running over hurdles recently and went very close in a Down Royal maiden hurdle in August (2m4f, good to firm); tailed off at Navan when last seen (2m, soft to heavy); makes AW debut now.

Form & Verdict
Best runs came in maidens over 1m last year, including twice at this track; regressive on last few starts but has a chance if the step up in trip brings the spark back.

Sole success came on yielding ground in this race last year when a 33-1 shot; same mark now but beaten 11.5l on sole start this season at Sligo in May; would probably prefer an ease in the ground.

Got a win on the board over 1m6f at Navan in August but well held afterwards, and is probably going to need this first run of the year.

Eight-race maiden is 0-5 on turf; went close off 63 on handicap debut at Clonmel last September (9.5f, good); returned from break with third of 13 at Navan (1m2f, good); each-way contender if the ground doesn't soften.

Soundly beaten in maidens and nurseries while was flattered to get within 15l of the Derby winner in the Chester Vase; however, ran well back in handicap company over 11.5f at this track last time when short of room late on; can go well in a maiden of this class.

Yet to add to Limerick maiden win (12.5f, good) last summer; step in the right direction on latest at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yielding) when a 4.75l fourth of 8; shorter trip and faster ground here a plus and rider takes off a handy 7lb; not discounted.

Limerick maiden winner (on good ground) has failed to fire in two runs at Gowran this season, though this is more realistic than the Listed race she contested there last time; a drying track would aid her cause but needs to revive.

Sole success in Limerick maiden last June (1m4f, good); didn't really progress from that and finished well beaten both tries in Listed company last year; below best on seasonal return in a handicap here (1m4f, soft); this looks too demanding.
