Best two runs in maidens came over 7f, including when beaten 4l here last September; underwhelming run on handicap debut at Cork (6f, yielding) later that month and off since; likely best watched on seasonal return and first try over 5f.

Best of three maiden runs came second time up over 7f at Down Royal (good), a 1.75l third at 80-1; easy ground may not have suited on latest; not sure 6f will suit on nursery debut but worth a market check nonetheless.
