Won over 1m at Gowran last summer, and twice in the autumn over 10.5f at Dundalk; return over 1m4f was respectable; slow to stride and weakened tamely over 1m2f at Navan on Saturday; tongue-tie and blinkers worn then replaced by the cheekpieces worn for AW wins; stamina on dam's side of pedigree, but not sure to stay this far.

Came good late in his three-year-old campaign when the blinds went on; back-to-back wins in 0-60 company at Gowran (1m, heavy) and Dundalk (10.5f); after eight months off, ran okay when upgraded to this level, finishing pretty much upsides Unterberg and Sinbad My Dad at Roscommon (10.5f).

Has never reached the first three, but two okay hurdling runs recently sandwich a poor Limerick effort; others preferred.
