Went close when front-running second over an extended 1m3f at Killarney; same tactics used over 1m4f at Cork when faded late to finish fifth; won well over 1m5f at Sligo and ran respectably off his new mark at Roscommon last week; capable of going well despite being 4lb out of the handicap.

Surprise winner (20-1) on his seventh Flat start at Bellewstown last time (1m4f, good); that brings him up to a rating of 63, which still leaves him with a bit to find with a few of these.
