In the hunt for a three-timer following back-to-back wins of a 21-runner handicap at the Curragh in April (6f, soft) and a 6f contest at Naas the following month (good), needed to wait for room before winning by a short head; she's up an aggregate of 18lb but is in wonderful form.

Form & Verdict
Lost his way last season after going close in a 1m handicap at Galway in August (yielding) off 4lb higher; perhaps the break and the added tongue tie will aid a return to form.
