Just glimpses of ability over shorter trips but much improved to run away with a Galway 3m handicap last time; 14lb higher now makes this much tougher but has to be respected.

Dual chase winner at this track; can come on from Gowran hurdle return and competes off a 13lb lower hurdles mark so highly likely to be a major player.

Getting high in the weights after another 5lb rise for his narrow success at Limerick (2m3f, soft) but he's right in the groove and will be fine returning to 3m; chance. |

5th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Fom in maidens appeared modest but he reportedly had injury problems; had no trouble winning on his handicap debut over this trip at Gowran at the end of September; went clear under today's rider from three out and won by 16l; a 12lb rise may not be enough to anchor him |

1st 2 |
30th Sep 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |

Well held fifth on this season's return and has been off since; his mark doesn't look overly generous on handicap debut and may need this after 119 days off. |

Won over 2m1f at Down Royal last December and went close at the same venue the following month; given a break after a poor run at Naas in March; should be better for last month's Listowel run over 2m4f, this shorter trip may be more suitable too. |
