Form & Verdict
Four AW wins over 6f/7f including off 70 in January (7f); generally held his form since, most recently 1.25l fourth to Sporting Hero over C&D, having been slowly away and denied a clear run; 1lb lower and rider now claims 5lb which could bring him right into the mix given better luck in running.

Behind Buddy Batt and Lethimfly here in March but later posted a career-best RPR when winning over 6f back here in April and can be forgiven his subsequent defeat at Chester; hard to leave out of calculations.

Fully exposed 5yo but he recorded the best RPR of his 50-race career when winning at Dundalk last month (6f); while effective on turf, he looks high enough in the weights now returning to grass; well drawn but others appeal more for win purposes.

Racked up a good ground hat-trick in a 6f claimer and two 6f handicaps at Fairyhouse early last summer; ground against him final two starts; unexposed on AW and interesting contender, especially if strong in the market on return from winter break.
