Off the mark at the ninth attempt in a 2m handicap at Dundalk (2m, Polytrack) in December; this season he's been a never-dangerous eighth to Shrimp Shady at Chester (2m2f) and helped set the pace when sixth of 18 at Fairyhouse (1m6f; just 4-1), not discredited in either but a prominent finish in today's race would be much his best handicap performance.
