Successful off a 3lb lower mark over an extended 7f at Tipperary (good-to-firm) last August and ran well at The Curragh when third in a 26 runner contest the following month. Always towards rear on seasonal debut whn 10th of 12 at Down Royal.
Won an apprentice contest at Limerick in October over 7f but has been well below form in three runs this season.
Back to form in recent starts, finishing second off this mark at Limerick (6.7f) prior to winning a claimer there last month, before second of 15, beaten ½L at Tipperary on Thursday.
Twice a winner already this month for this apprentice rider, scoring nicely at Gowran Park (1m, soft to heavy) and following up over a furlong shorter at Roscommon on soft ground, before same pace, 11th of 16 at Tipperary last month.
Beaten 4L when finishing sixth of 16 in a first time tongue tie at Gowran Park (yielding-to-soft) on handicap debut in May. Disappointed at Leopardstown over 1m subsequently, before 12th of 14 in Down Royal handicap over 7f on good ground.
Last won in selling grade for one of his former yards but has raced ostensibly on the AW at Dundalk in recent times. Best form on turf achieved with some give underfoot.
Now with fourth trainer since June 2015 and first run for new connection here. Nought from 17 on turf and best watched on return from long lay-off.
Hit and miss since winning over an extended 6f last winter, beaten a total of 47L in last three starts and best watched.
Fifth of 11 at Tipperary, beaten 3½L and 24L behind Our Max at Dundalk in April on just two starts for Dermot Weld and best watched on yard debut.
Winner in France when trained by Matthieu Palussiere but only limited signs of promise for this stable. Handicap mark is falling following string of poor runs including last day, beaten 18L behind Polly Douglas at Naas.
Scored over 7f at Dundalk for Johnny Feane in February 2016, but frustrating since, although back to form when in the frame at Naas on both starts for new yard last month, before an encouraging third of eight beaten 1¼L behind Path Of Silver at Tipperary on Thursday.
Struggled in maidens last year over sprinting trips, didn't run badly on handicap debut at Cork in May and finished ninth of 14, beaten 10L last day in Dundalk 3yo handicap.
Registered one win a season for the last three years and has shown little encouragement since, including five starts this season, including last of 14 last Tuesday at Gowran Park.
Solid performer once upon a time for Sir Michael Stoute, with his best form all coming with considerable ease in the ground. Fairly reliable late 2016 for this trainer from marks in the 50's. Third of 10 at Carlisle in June.
Only victory in 13 starts came on turf back in August 2015 but well beaten in the main for this stable and never nearer eighth of 20 last day on seasonal debut at Naas last month.
