Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded.

All three wins over 5f, including pair of Cork handicaps last summer; didn't threaten in valuable Curragh handicaps last twice, including over extended 6f last month; tongue-tie.

Won twice last year over 5f at Cork and also finished second to Keke in this race, a fine effort for a horse of his age; not at best at Dundalk on only start this year; however, potentially interesting now that he is reunited with the champion jockey who rode him to a Cork win off just one pound lower last July.

Showed improvement in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) for 50-1 win in Listed race at Ayr (5f, good) in June; needs to prove that level of form was no one-off and she was down the field in a Group 3 at Sandown (5f, good to firm) last time, but she's not written off back in a handicap.
