Form & Verdict
Winner of a heavy-ground 1m2f Leopardstown Group 3 in April 2024 and added to that when a winner at this venue in a conditions race over 18.5f in February last year; gelded since beaten 29l in the Irish St Leger when last seen; the jury is out on whether he is effective at this trip (weakened from 1f out in only other try); trainer has better candidate in Bryant.

T: Emmet Mullins

Good stayer on the Flat (rated 107 at his peak) and running well in the spring before his form tailed off; successful hurdles/stable debut at Navan (2m, good; third and fifth won since) four weeks ago, strongly pressed inside final furlong but finding for pressure; can only improve stepping up in trip; the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Wonderful AW record (outside the top three just once, and two wins from nine starts); last win came over 10.5f here in August off 88; proved stamina when running on well for a 1l third in a 2m heritage handicap at Chester in September but well beaten in the Irish Cesarewitch when last seen; can never be ruled out back on this surface and has run well following a break before.

Both career wins have come here, the latest in this race last year off 1lb higher; has run well in defeat over much further on turf a couple of times this term and soft ground wouldn't have suited at Galway latest; should be doing his best work at the finish.
