Two-time winner, both at Fairyhouse; won a 2m (soft) novice handicap off 109 there in December; added a 21.5f handicap (yld-sft) off 122 last month, scoring by 5.5l; 9lb rise for that seems fair; should be competitive again but wouldn't want to see too much rain (well beaten in four previous starts on soft to heavy).

J: Harry Cobden

T: Noel Meade

Sole success came in 2m handicap here in December on soft; followed that up with a solid second over 20.5f (gd-yld) at Leopardstown and just 2lb higher here; struggled at 2m on testing ground the last twice, but interesting now back up in trip at the scene of his only win with Cobden taking over.

Form in maidens was nothing special but took advantage of opening mark of 109 to win his second handicap start at Fairyhouse (2m, soft); solid second when 11-8 favourite in a novice handicap at Leopardstown (2m4f, good to yielding); better than he showed at Navan last time when well beaten; appears to be the pick of the owner's two.

Form in maidens was nothing special as shown by an opening mark of 109; has gone up 14lb after three handicap runs, featuring a 2m Fairyhouse win and a second over a longer trip at Leopardstown; has progressed to a level that gives him a fair chance in a race of this type.

Well behind Ma Jacks Hill and Come Walk With Me in maidens; beaten 11l in his first handicap but on heavy ground and he justified strong market support on soft at Fairyhouse, winning that 2m handicap comfortably; has to deal with an 11lb rise but he's progressive and should have no difficulty staying this far.
