Back-to-back 6f wins on good (including here) in July but handles an ease; 1l behind Amiata over 6f here on penultimate and 5lb better off now; was on the wrong side of the track over C&D three days ago so that run can be marked up; this is a stronger race, however, and 2lb wrong but has a place shout.

Only victory came in a 7f nursery here in December; turf form of late is not too bad, finishing fourth in a big-field Curragh handicap and third to Cafu Zafeen at Fairyhouse on Monday; consistent sort with the assistance of arguably the best apprentice around; should be a contender.
