Most starts on good ground, unraced on firmer; lightly raced 5yo who had 282 days off before emerging from off the pace to win narrowly at Navan (1m6f) in April; below-form favourite behind Ascending at Cork (1m4f) six weeks ago but going beyond 1m6f for the first time is interesting and he holds possibilities if that latest run is forgiven.
