Solid and consistent, but has plenty of weight; 1m1f Leopardstown win came on soft, but his latest third back there over 1m2f was on good and he ran his race; has his chance, but Keane's preference for stablemate wouldn't encourage support.

Only two wins from 33 starts; has occasionally run well in good company, notably when second in a premier handicap at last year's Irish Champions meeting at Leopardstown; down the field in the same race this season; now 19lb below her career-high mark, might not be a lost cause.
