Listed bumper winner; landed 1m5f Flat maiden at Down Royal last year on good; decisively scored at Gowran Park over this tirp on soft in April and didn't get the cleanest of runs at Galway last time; may need a slight ease in the ground to show best.

Two from two in bumpers; gained a second win on the Flat when readily taking a 1m6f Gowran handicap in April (soft); raised 8lb for that; needs to reverse recent Faryhouse form with Tounsivator; any further easing of the ground would help.
