Better AW performer; improved for better ground when a never-nearer third of 19 in an apprentice handicap at Leopardstown (1m, good) when last seen around this time last year; best watched on return/stable debut.

Disappointing favourite last time at Listowel but his previous runs suggested his turn might be near and he does enjoy slow ground; in the mix.

Two wins in 2023 were gained in the autumn on soft ground, including over 7f at this venue; last season, he went close when second at Galway on heavy on his final outing; recent Galway third suggests he can add to his score before the end of the season.
