Improver since entering handicap ranks, plenty keen when rallying second at Killarney (yielding-to-soft) and handled good ground well here earlier this month, leading early on, not fluent last but finding plenty run-in to win comfortably; type to keep improving (7lb higher) and slightly longer trip to suit.

One of two for trainer; maiden has been consistent in handicaps; runner-up at Tramore off this mark in November (2m5f, soft); below that when a beaten favourite at Down Royal next time (2m4f, yielding), finishing a distant third; another good effort when fourth back there last time; maybe the cheekpieces can get a bit more from him.
