0-7; best run came when a 5l second of 8 in a Killarney maiden last October (1m, sft-hvy); shaped promisingly enough when denied a clear run back there in May (1m3f, good), but needs to rebound from dire effort at Newbury last time.

0-6 and he needs to produce more than he's managed in Ireland this spring in his first two handicaps (1m4f/1m3f, good to yielding/good); however, his trainer has an excellent 13-41 (32%) record with his British raiders in the last five years; firmly in calculations in first-time headgear.
