Won over this trip on debut at Naas in July and added further win last month over today's C&D, coming off good pace for neck win; five days earlier too keen when below best over 6f in valuable sales race at the Curragh; proven over trip and surface but steps up in grade.

Went close to getting off the mark at the sixth attempt over 6f at Cork last week, travelling well and only caught on the line; this looks much tougher though and may find 5f on AW on the sharp side; drawn widest.
