Both career wins have come here, the latest in this race last year off 1lb higher; has run well in defeat over much further on turf a couple of times this term and soft ground wouldn't have suited at Galway latest; should be doing his best work at the finish.

Form & Verdict
Four wins from five starts at the track at trips ranging from 1m-1m4f, including an impressive victory over C&D latest when strong in the betting; form has been well advertised by the fourth winning next time; booking of Ronan Whelan would suggest he's the stable's first string; big chance.

Rock solid record of 4-6 on AW including two wins over C&D; is 2lb lower than when last winning here in 2024 and wasn't disgraced when beaten 4.25l in a premier handicap at Leopardstown last month; interesting back at this venue.

Form & Verdict
All five career victories have been around here, four over C&D; won this race in 2022 and 2023; 6lb above last winning mark; hasn't been seen since poor run at the Curragh in June; jockey bookings may suggest Slieve Binnian is first string of Paul Rooney-owned pair.

Five-time AW winner is 0-11 on turf but has run well in defeat; excellent efforts last twice at Leopardstown (a neck behind Cloud Seeker) and here, both over 1m2f on good; this is his optimum trip and he holds leading claims.
