Won here last week at A3 Kilkenny with a performance of 90, and before that won at A4 Enniscorthy and placed at A3 Enniscorthy. The form trajectory reads 90 most recently, then 84, 79, 62, 59, 65 going back — a genuine improving pattern showing a dog growing in confidence. Speed rating of 55 is the second-best in the field. Trainer Murphy has a 10% local win rate which is modest, but the dog form is persuasive. The trap concern is real: trap 2 at Kilkenny A3 wins only 14.3% from 119 runs. Won last week from a better draw and now faces a structural disadvantage, but remains the most likely alternative winner.
