Flat winner has a kink in him, and has twice run out, but solid seconds last twice and there was good money for him last time when clear of the remainder at Sligo, beaten around 2l by 115-rated rival; ground suits and this is a good opportunity.

Form & Verdict
An unknown quantity at this trip, kept on for fifth over 1m1f at Leopardstown last month; could be in the mix in this modest grade if she stays effectively; worth bearing in mind she has missed five engagements this term for a variety of reasons.
