Maiden best runs have been when second over C&D, around this time last year and more recently in August off 97; recent Downpatrick effort (after a break) was okay so one to consider given his record here.

Remains a maiden at the age of nine (0-18); broke a poor run of form back from a break at Bellewstown (3m, yielding) last month when a 1.5l runner-up; that was one of his best runs and chance if backing it up.
