Won Ballinrobe claimer at around this trip on good ground for John O'Donoghue; runner-up when upped in trip to an extended 1m4f at Thurles on second start for this stable; finished the season with second over 2m at Dundalk; an unknown quantity on this ground; handicap mark seems fair.

Dam is an unraced half-sister to Irish Derby winner Westover; placed in two of his three Flat starts in France at three; ran creditably in a Dundalk handicap on only start last year; unseated at the second on recent hurdles debut.

Three-time AW winner at 1m4f; 0-12 on turf; coped well with his first exposure to heavy ground when third in a 26-runner contest at the Curragh; not much between him and Lady Mary Heath on that running; this longer trip will suit

Ordinary form last year; made a promising start to the season when fourth of 26 over 1m at the Curragh; closely matched with Satono Cavalier who had the benefit of race fitness; however, that rival may be more effective at this longer trip.

Yet to reach the first three; was staying on at the finish at Naas on his final start last seasson; may need a bit further than this to make his presence felt
