Exposed and an infrequent winner; however, he enjoys this ground and kept plugging away to make the frame at Gowran last time (beaten 16l); has each-way claims.

Despite desperate form figures he was backed into favouritism for a 2m handicap at Gowran (soft/heavy) and duly showed improved form to be close up; won't be far away with a repeat of that.

Didn't appear to see out 2m7f at Thurles (behind Magic Conqueror) but still ran well and again when coming from off the pace under a big weight at Fairyhouse (2m4f, heavy); now 0-17 but the tongue-tie is helping and her turn looks near. |

Nothing in his first two handicaps but found something from somewhere to be beaten only 6l in a soft-ground 2m handicap here a month ago; saw that out well so this longer trip looks the right move.

Returning from six months off when a 15l sixth on handicap debut at Cork (2m3f, yielding to soft) and he's entitled to strip fitter for that; stoutly bred so going further here should also help.
