Overcame a pace bias to justify support in a fairly useful handicap at Ayr (13f, soft) last time. Back off a mark in the 80s following that third success of the season, which may prevent a follow up.

Fairly useful maiden in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh. Hasn't gone on from a promising debut for new connections (sold 48,000 gns), more to it than doing too much early on heavy ground at Ayr last time.
