Underwhelming in opening two chase starts before taking a big step forward at Roscommon (2m6f, yielding to soft) to shed his maiden tag convincingly off 90 under today's rider following the reapplication of blinkers; a repeat of that will see him go very close, but overall form suggests that is not a sure thing.
