Form & Verdict
Sent off at evens for Limerick debut but only fourth of 16 (1m, good); didn't land a blow at the Curragh next time dropped in trip to 6f (good); much more encouraging at Cork 12 days ago when keeping on well for a 1.75l second behind an odds-on rival (1m, soft); should be suited by conditions but perhaps others more talented.
