Sole win in eight Flat starts came last time out in 1m4f Roscommon handicap 19 days ago, staying on to beat subsequent winner Obscenity by 2.75l; had two prior hurdle runs at backend of last year and didn't show a huge aptitude but is in better form now and has been gelded; rated 80 on the Flat and could go well.

Some good efforts in soft-ground handicaps, including seasonal-debut second at Bellewstown (1m3f) when clear of third Obscenity; not at his best at Ballinrobe last time when behind a couple of these.

Half-brother to Group 1 winner Al Riffa not at same level, although mild promise last summer in Galway handicap and best effort yet on last month's return at Bellewstown when a clear second (third has won since) over just shy of 1m4f (soft), only worn down late; 6lb higher but respected, despite wide draw.

Half-brother to Group 1 winner Al Riffa; ran creditably on his last two starts in Flat handicaps; fifth of 18 over 1m4f at Galway; close up in third behind Secret Force at Listowel; failed to reproduce the form relative to Secret Force on hurdles debut at Punchestown.
