Form & Verdict
Best effort for Noel Kelly when second of 12 finishers (beaten favourite) over 2m4f at Fairyhouse in January; flopped when favourite at Ayr in March; justified good support when winning easily at Kilbeggan on first appearance for Gordon Elliott; raised by 9lb, but Josh Williamson's 5lb claim could help him to follow up.

Progressive for Gordon Elliott, winning three of five starts; handicaps at Kilbeggan and Clonmel and 3-runner 2m4f Roscommon novice; disappointing favourite however back in handicap over C&D in June when forcing tactics employed, fading badly once headed approaching the last in contest won by Malbay Madness; back from a break with questions to answer.
