Seven-time winner, last win at Dundalk in February 2024 off 3lb higher; some good efforts last year, including over this trip on the AW, and creditable run in the circumstances (slowly away) at the Curragh on latest under today's rider; one to consider.

Showed first bit of promise for this yard when a close third in a 1m4f soft-ground Limerick handicap in June, staying on late under tender handling; horse subsequently suspended for 60 days due to jockey being found not to have achieved best possible placing; Galway Hurdle winning trainer-jockey combination; could well be thereabouts.

Seven-race maiden in Britain for Charlie Hills, runner-up in AW handicaps final two starts in 2024; yet to match that form in Ireland; only if interest if the market speaks in his favour.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo didn't debut until June last year, winning Killarney auction maiden on second start; contested 1m6f Listed races both subsequent starts, staying on fourth at Leopardstown and never landed a blow when beaten 5.5l at Ascot in October; drops to handicap company for seasonal return and has to be respected.

Lightly raced 4yo; proved that he does indeed possess serious stamina when upped from 1m6f to 2m4f at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last time, bang there almost throughout in first-time blinkers and beaten a head; back up 4lb but has a big shout.

Unraced on firmer than good and his form claims are pretty flimsy; however, he's one of the dark horses of the race after just six starts and he's shaped at 1m6f as if he may well be an out-and-out stayer; has tried cheekpieces and a visor once each, and now blinkers are given a go; close relation Middle Earth was third over 2m in last year's Melbourne Cup.

Highly tried at Listed level last season after winning his maiden here; the concern is a very laboured comeback run on handicap debut at Cork.
