All three wins for Kieran Cotter came at Cork (6f-1m) and ended last term with solid C&D fourth behind Unique Journey; dropped out to finish last on seasonal return at Cork early this month, a run which should bring him on.

All three wins have come at this venue, twice over 6f, the other coming at 1m; liking for the track is enough to make him worth considering on stable/seasonal debut.

Clicked last summer with a Fairyhouse hat-trick over 6f on nice ground; touched off at Naas two starts back and couldn't get in the clear until too late when beaten just over 2l in premier handicap at the Curragh last weekend.

All three wins at Fairyhouse last season came at this trip on decent ground; back to form on favoured ground at Leopardstown early this month when beaten a short-head in three-way photo; 3lb rise takes him back to a career-high mark but capable 7lb claimer booked.

Has 11lb pull for three-quarters of a length with Kindergarten from last year's debut clash at Navan; beaten at odds-on next time but he was a backward juvenile; off the mark by 3l on AW in April and runner-up now rated 82; nothing went right when favourite for premier handicap at Naas, got warm beforehand and rider decided to follow his draw up the stands' side but all the action was far side; tongue-tie.

Three-time course winner over 5f/6f on varying ground; most recent run this term was a step in the right direction (considerately-handled never nearer sixth) and could reverse form with a couple of these with top rider replacing inexperienced 10lb claimer; down to a career-low mark.
