Has done plenty of racing since a C&D win last summer; generally modest form this season, with the exception of a Navan third on his penultimate start.
In the frame twice over hurdles at Kilbeggan and Downpatrick since Flat win at Sligo; up 4lb for that, same 7lb claimer aboard; chance has to be take seriously.
Sole Flat win came on AW at Wolverhampton in December 2024 over an extended 1m1f; one of his better turf efforts when sixth at Fairyhouse last month; soundly beaten in third when favourite at Tramore on Tuesday, the winner was well handicapped.
Had shown little, Flat or hurdles, before running way above expectations (300-1) in conditions hurdle at Ballinrobe; another fair run in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle last time.
Consistent in defeat on AW over winter/spring, placing in four consecutive runs at 1m4f-2m; continued that form back on turf at Roscommon in May when again runner-up; deserved his change of fortune when scoring at Navan; backed that up at Down Royal; ground-versatile and hat-trick not out of the question.
Modest but progressive AW handicapper last winter, winning over 1m2f and placed at 1m4f; good chance now based on last week's pleasing Bellewstown second which came after a break.
Placed twice in low-grade handicaps last season and fourth in a Ballinrobe handicap four starts ago; ran in a maiden last time; each-way chance if recovering last year's best form.
