Solid runs in first three handicaps, all on easy ground; 7-4 fav, long way behind runner-up Superficial when third over 1m3f at Bellewstown; left that behind when bolting up in 23-runner contest at Navan (1m2f); bred to stay this far, but still a bit of a question mark over his stamina.

Progressive this season, winning at Navan off 65 and at this venue off 78; failing to maintain his form when well fancied to complete in a premier handicap at the Curragh contested by several of these rivals; that was too bad to be true, unwise to discount.
