Third career win came on final start last season in 1m Listowel Listed in testing conditions under a positive ride (just a day after being well beaten in a handicap); failed to beat a single rival home in 1m4f Curragh Listed on return; balance of form is over shorter than this so others preferred.

Modest juvenile form; his chance depends on his ability to improve on his first run on good ground.

J: Seamie Heffernan

Over two years since latest of only two wins; second over 6f at the Curragh in October and ran well over 7.5f on return, but poor strike-rate overall; prefers it soft but handles good.
