Yet to win since joining this yard and not the most consistent but ran a fine race at Galway (7f, yielding) last week when beaten 2l off 75; good ground is fine but needs to back that up now off 1lb higher.

Got back to winning ways at Gowran last month (7f, good); soundly beaten off revised mark twice since, but has been eased 6lb for those two tame efforts, so is just 1lb higher than his last win; has run well on the AW so not dismissed.

Just denied by Jon Riggens over C&D in June, more recently made all over 7f at Gowran; five days later awkward start and soon beaten in a similar event under 7lb penalty; capable 5lb claimer now booked so don't rule out.

Carries a 7lb penalty due to his C&D victory five days ago; that win came following a good third at the Galway festival (7f, yielding) but he's not the most consistent overall, so not guaranteed to reproduce his winning form.

Form & Verdict
Minor promise in maidens last year; not a bad run at all in Limerick rated race on seasonal return last month, beaten just 3.75l (1.75l behind Alfred Tennyson); 7lb better off with that rival now, should be sharper and eye-catching rider booking for handicap bow; interesting.

Beat Punica Granatum in a Gowran maiden last year and ran well in a soft-ground winners' race over C&D on next start; seemingly too high in the handicap this term, but never-nearer third at speed-favouring Gowran was a much better effort and showed he's now on a competitive mark; headgear returns.
