Best effort yet on return from 131 days off at Kilbeggan (17.5f, gd-yld) when a 7.75l fourth of 13; should strip fitter now, eased 1lb and pedigree suggests that this trip might suit; not discounted. |

Lightly raced 5yo was who runner-up in his final handicap over hurdles (2m1f; 2lb lower); sent off favourite for chase debut off this mark at Downpatrick and ran okay to be beaten 13l into third having jumped deliberately; if sharper for that experience he can go well. |

Not far off the pace when carried out at the second-last over C&D on latest, a race awarded to today's rival Qaasid on the disqualification of the offending Marian Avenue; it looked as if he was set to deliver a clear career-best; solid chance with that in mind. |

Battled to gain a first win when successful over hurdles at Limerick in December off 84 (2m6f, soft to heavy); tailed off at Punchestown next time; bounced back when runner-up back at Limerick last time (2m7f, heavy), had Mickey Hulie 17l behind in third that day; best form on softer. |
