First reserve; won off 7lb higher at Dundalk (7f) in January, his eighth AW win; is 3lb lower than when winning this race last year and didn't run too badly over 1m at Navan on latest; could be a danger to all if getting a run.

Form & Verdict
Dual course winner over 7f but has won over 1m on turf and arrives in cracking form after a half-length defeat over C&D with some of these in behind before a 1l defeat to progressive rival over 7f a fortnight ago; only up 1lb for that and this small-field contest could be a good opportunity.

Five-time winner for Johnny Murtagh and clearly not the horse he once was, but showed that he is potentially at a winning level when a close third in a 1m handicap at Cork two weeks ago; this might be his trip now and he is certainly respected.
