Just behind Gun Carriage in a maiden in April won by the smart Stay True; off the mark over C&D in July but then finished last in a 1m6f Listed race; big ask to bounce back in a race of this nature.

Two solid opening runs in maidens here in the Spring and returned from a break to win 1m2f Dundalk AW maiden last month, making all and battling well; much stiffer task here.

Form & Verdict
0-5; Lombardi Trophy was making his debut when this gelding was ahead of him at Leopardstown in April and has performed to a similar level in two subsequent defeats; not improving but his form is right up there.

Useful but frustrating Flat maiden for Ger Lyons; solid efforts in maiden hurdles at Sligo and Limerick; was ahead of Luker's Tipple on latter occasion and should confirm that form on 2lb worse terms.

Useful but frustrating for Ger Lyons on the Flat, runner-up five times in a row in maidens; only okay runs in two recent starts for this yard and mark now down to 78; tried in tongue-tie latest, now hooded for hurdling debut.

Form & Verdict
Cost 340,000euros as a yearling; disappointing short-priced favourite at Leopardstown last time but the blinkers now go on and he was previously second to the smart Scandinavia at Navan (1m2f); hard to dismiss.

Looked a horse of some promise early last season but has failed to progress; coming down the handicap but stepping up to this trip has not improved his record.

Showed promise in maidens but first three handicap runs have been pretty underwhelming; beaten 9l at Fairyhouse on latest (1m6f, good); 6lb wrong here; others appeal more.

Showed a hint of ability in Flat maidens for Johnny Murtagh last year; didn't take to hurdling for this yard and recent Flat efforts have been poor; looks flattered by a rating of 68.
