Won this two years ago and a slow start was no help when fifth last year; won twice this season and had been holding his form until a quiet run behind some of these a fortnight ago; usually dependable and could be dangerous should the first-time cheekpieces trigger something.

Three Curragh wins include two premier handicaps at 5f and has added two wins this season at Naas; holding his form well, including Scurry fourth to Sondad and staying on fourth to Bear On The Run under top-weight over today's C&D; booking of talented 7lb claimer could prove a shrewd move.
