Got first career win with comfortable 1m Dundalk handicap success in October off 72; just fair efforts on AW afterwards and turf return at Naas last month was just okay (keen); cheekpieces now added.

Well-bred Godolphin cast-off progressing well in handicaps of late, ready winner over 1m at Gowran and three days later staying on second under hefty weight over today's trip at Ballinrobe; runs off 7lb higher mark here so needs to take another step forward, but possible.

Has taken well to handicapping, good fourth to an improver over 5f at Naas before relishing step up to 7f for ready success at Gowran (soft) in April, coming late off a good pace; good chance he'll stay 1m and 7lb rise looks fair; decent draw too.
