Two wins last season, both of them under today's rider and the second of which arrived over C&D (yielding); creditable enough seasonal return off 9lb higher at Navan when a 5.5l eighth of 20, shaping as though he would improve for the run; in the mix.

Off the mark when making much of running over slightly shorter at Sligo in August and pick of two runs since when non-staying fourth to Grann's Boy over 2m1f at Thurles last week; drop back in trip here should suit.

Some promise in maidens but has been diappointing in handicaps; badly hampered at Limerick last time but so too was the rest of the field; the step up in trip has to elicit improvement.

Has made the frame in two runs in maiden hurdles (soundly beaten both times) since a below-par Flat run at Navan; last season's Roscommon win was gained over 1m4f; later ran well over 1m6f at the Curragh, so no major stamina doubt.

Didn't show a lot in maidens but built on positive handicap debut at Ballinrobe to score back there on her penultimate start (1m1f, good to yielding) with subsequent winners in behind; well supported but couldn't follow up raised in trip at Sligo last time (1m5f, good to yielding); this looks more her trip and she is a big danger.
