Well beaten on handicap debut here over 2m3f on soft to heavy ground but has finished runner-up in his two starts this season; beaten a short head at Punchestown (3m ,good to yielding) raised 3lb and was 2.25l behind Le Fanu at Listowel last time (2m5f, good to yielding); he's up 2lb more but his turn is coming.

Best run came on second handicap start at Punchestown (good to yielding) last time when upped to 3m for the first time and beaten a short head off 3lb lower; the abandonment of the first-time tongue tie worn that day and the drop back in trip are both question marks now but good chance with a repeat of latest run.
