Three-time Flat winner won off 2lb higher at Ballinrobe last year (1m2f, good) and returned to the same race in May when an okay fourth of nine; something seemingly went wrong when pulled up over hurdles at Clonmel in May; others appeal more.

Made almost all to win this race last year (Ballycashin third); ran well off 10lb higher mark at Tramore in August; otherwise has done all his racing on the Flat over the past year; placed on multiple occasions, fair form late; fourth of nine at Ballinrobe last Friday.

Form & Verdict
Some promising efforts in maidens including when runner-up on heavy ground at Leopardstown in October and bounced back from a lesser run when a close up fourth at Dundalk in December having met some interference; looks like a big player on handicap debut from a workable mark.

Maiden has finished second five times, twice at Ballinrobe and three times at Leopardstown; on second start of the season, was backed at latter venue when front-running second over 1m1f; that was on soft to heavy, but he's fine on good; doesn't have to lead, but mightn't be much competition for it here.

Three-time AW winner added a second turf win in decisive fashion on return from 107 days off on first try over 1m4f (good) at Leopardstown last month; ridden by 7lb claimer that day so effectively 15lb higher here; will need a big career best to follow up, but unexposed at this distance and can't be discounted.
