Dual 5f Polytrack winner (once here) this year; not discredited in higher-grade company over 6f here last month and probably still on a workable mark for this drop back to her optimum trip; must be considered.

On a dangerous mark and he was a good third over C&D on his penultimate run; subsequent lesser effort came in a Class 5 and he tackles his first 0-60 today; well drawn and a big run looks on the cards.

C&D win last May and followed up at Lingfield (6f; both good to firm) one week later; now 14lb lower so he has handicapping claims, for all his recent efforts need bettering; stable also runs Cabeza De Llave.

Form & Verdict
Won just one of his 18 starts in Ireland for David Marnane but he was in fair form in the latter part of 2025; low-key stable debut (after a wind op) at Wolverhampton last month; interesting to see if he's stronger in the betting with that behind him and dropped in class.

Fair AW form when trained in Ireland, recording an RPR of 69 as recently as November; ran poorly in his three starts for Barry Brennan this year but he has dropped 9lb for his troubles and starts out for a new yard at a low level; tongue-tie added; interesting.
