Running okay without really threatening to win this season; not terrible efforts the last twice at the Curragh (1m2f, gd-fm) and on latest at Galway (1m4f, yld-sft) but probably needs a bit more help from the handicapper to get his head back in front.

Registered his highest rating in 1m6f Listed race on soft ground last April (his only time front-running); always prominent when strong finish took him to a handicap win at the Curragh (1m6f, yielding) this term and, although he wasn't discredited over 2m later in June, this trip on softer than good may well be the best fit; wears headgear for the first time.

Useful on the Flat and over hurdles and he ran pretty well when second at Downpatrick in August on his sole chase start; he's also the only one who has run recently but he was tailed off on the Flat at Naas only on Sunday, and others in this race appeal as having greater potential.
