Won at Ayr over 10f (11/4) 51 days ago, stepping up on previous runs. Finished second of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12/1) over 10.7f 19 days ago, tracking pace but one-paced late on. Strong recent form suggests further improvement likely in this grade.

Showing improved form in last three handicaps, most recently third of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (11/1) 22 days ago, staying on from rear. Could be more effective back at this 10f trip. However, remains without a win in 15 races.

Better run when third at Tramore but 8th of 13 at Gowran Park (14/1) 18 days ago when never threatening. May benefit from return to 10f. Without a win in 15 races.

Won at Punchestown (9f) 22 days ago, then ran best race when second of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (11f) at 10/1 9 days ago, coping well with longer trip. Handles this distance and could build on recent improved form.

Modest form overall with best effort being fifth of 15 at Tipperary (25/1), but disappointed when 11th of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (16/1) 22 days ago. First-time tongue strap today may help with breathing issues.
