Record of 4-44; was beaten a long way on recent return after 344 days off and needs huge improvement in that 10 days.

Losing run since landing back-to-back handicaps in Britain in 2023; possibly in season when last seen in a 6f handicap here and has been off 344 days; poor record fresh.

Form & Verdict
12-race maiden but signs in his last couple of starts he may be capable from a basement mark; however, this looks competitive, not sure to appreciate a return to 7f and drawn on the wing.

Breakthrough win came over C&D last October (soft); hooded for somewhat belated seasonal debut here and may just need it.

Breakthrough win off 5lb lower on penultimate at Killarney (1m, soft); struggled off revised mark on better ground at Thurles; could bounce back returned to softer conditions.

Off the mark at 14th attempt when well-ridden in a 1m Killarney handicap (soft) on Monday; carries a 7lb penalty and this demands a career-best.
