Held by Sil Ver Klass on Fairyhouse running in January but has been consistent since and gained a deserved success in a Wexford mares beginners chase at Wexford two weeks ago; runs well here and unlikely to be far away.

Form & Verdict

Readily accounted for Nelly's Money in a Fairyhouse handicap in January; not as effective on softer ground at Thurles; 8lb higher than at Fairyhouse and 4lb worse off with the runner-up that day but ground more in his favour here; should go close.
