@Tipperaryraces Handicap

Slow to break and keen when never counting on handicap debut at Navan in April; given time off since but hard to fancy.

Has taken him some time to get going but much improved last twice in 1m Leopardstown handicaps, touched off by a subsequent winner and then positively ridden and value for more when landing 15-runner contest; up 10lb for those efforts but big player again if seeing out this longer trip.

Fair maiden form including when upset in stalls at Ballinrobe recently on seasonal return; not completely ruled out on handicap debut.

Now a 10-race maiden but running respectably in handicaps of late, notably close third over 7f at Fairyhouse, most recently bit onepaced at Cork on better ground (behind You Are Mine); visor now fitted.

Seasonal-best at Cork last month when chasing home a progressive sort (Vlhova third, Great Mover fourth) after making much of running; should go well off just 1lb higher.
