11st 4lb

J: Adam Leahy

T: John Joseph Hanlon

Maiden's best run in four handicap starts was when third of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding) at Christmas; twice well held on more testing ground since; might go okay on likely better surface here.

Modest form in maidens; remote fourth on handicap debut at Limerick (2m, heavy); much better when third of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding); failed to see out 2m4f on soft at Fairyhouse; drop in trip will help.

Gradual improvement over hurdles, twice hitting the frame at Ludlow (2m5f-3m), getting to within 3l of Son Of Tyran (beaten by Brionywells since) last month; slightly more needed to make the breakthrough from this 1lb higher mark.

Maiden under both codes; seemed to appreciate the return to good ground here 18 days ago (2m5f) and having the visor back on was no bad thing; needs a bit more off the same mark but hard to dismiss.

Nine-race maiden who has yet to show any worthwhile hurdles form; finished 28l behind today's rival Brionywells at Worcester (2m7f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; tongue-tie now discarded; better to look elsewhere.
