In wonderful form here at the moment, gained his first win since 2022 when breaking his AW duck over C&D in February; up 6lb and absolutely bolted up last time, with Storm Eric 5.5l back in second; up 10lb more and entering a higher grade, but decent draw and he's flying. |

In the hunt for a three-timer following back-to-back wins of a 21-runner handicap at the Curragh in April (6f, soft) and a 6f contest at Naas the following month (good), needed to wait for room before winning by a short head; she's up an aggregate of 18lb but is in wonderful form. |

1m AW winner saw off Reposado by 2.25l at the Curragh (6f, soft) on latest and the runner up ran with credit off 4lb higher back there last weekend; however, she'll need a big career best off this mark and quick ground is a concern. |
