Enjoyed a good winter AW campaign, winning twice over this trip, including last month when rallying well to hold off an in-form rival; runs off 12lb lower turf mark here and surely major claims given the form of the yard (and rider).

Much improved this year, recording wins at Navan, Ballinrobe and over just shy of this trip at Limerick in June; held off career-high marks last twice, trip possibly too far at Killarney and in Galway premier handicap; drops back in grade so respected, but this ground may be on the quick side.
