Won Gowran maiden (7f, good) with plenty in reserve on debut last September; never landed a blow in Naas Listed a month later; sent off 28-1 for handicap debut, outran odds when runner-up at Gowran (7f, heavy) on return; unchanged mark; player.

Spotlight :
Killarney maiden (1m, good to firm) winner who won her second handicap start at Punchestown (1m1f, good) with a nice bit in hand under prominent tactics; heavy ground possibly to blame for poor comeback run at Gowran; in the mix.

Reared up in stalls here (6f) on debut last September, staying on well late; showed promise next time at Naas; eyecatching run after tardy start when fourth of 11 in course maiden (6f, soft) on return, beaten 1.25l; interesting handicap debutante; 2lb wrong.

All three wins at 6f, including at this track last August off 66 (good); midfield at Naas two weeks ago; he's a real threat when he gets a decent pace to aim at but has to prove he stays this far.
