Overcame a troubled passage when getting up late to win a 1m2f classified at Lingfield on second start for this yard but he just couldn't pick up over the shorter trip at Wolverhampton (about 1m) next time; unraced here but acts on Tapeta and remains of interest with more suitable test. |

Built upon encouraging stable debut (over C&D) when winning 1m2f Lingfield classified in refitted cheekpieces on Monday, opening his account at the 18th attempt; has 5lb penalty on this handicap return but still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood. |

0-14 on turf but one of better efforts came last June when a 3.5l second over C&D off this mark; off since a below par run at Dundalk last August; might need this run. |

Both wins have come over 1m at Dundalk; joined this stable after a below-par run on soft ground in a Tipperary claimer in May; faded on yard debut at Dundalk; this surface should be fine for him, trip may be inadequate. |

Six-time Flat winner including five on AW (1m-1m2f) since December; unexposed over hurdles and was fair fourth of 13 back in this sphere at Hereford (2m, good; 12-1) last week; should have more to offer as a jumper but this looks a tough task against Un Sens A La Vie. |
