Debut second was on good to firm; showed plenty as 2yo, though it took him until reappearance in April before he won a maiden at Navan; returned there (again 1m2f on good) five weeks ago when going mighty close from well off the pace in a seven-runner handicap, travelling smoothly and battling, so he is probably set for better still.

Three solid maiden runs last year including when 4.5l behind The Lion In Winter at the Curragh; got off the mark in a C&D maiden on return and can improve from that; looks a big player on handicap bow.

Runner-up in four-runner race at Tipperary (form working out) before a fourth to The Lion In Winter in a Curragh maiden in July; that form also working out, finishing behind two subsequent Group 3 winners and he's a potential improver up in trip on his return.
