Improved from a promising Navan debut to win second time out back at that venue when last seen in October 2021; subsequent absence is a concern and not guaranteed to be better on AW; tongue-tie tried on debut for new yard and on a workable handicap mark.

Form & Verdict
Got his head back in front with a first C&D win here last month and the runner-up (re-opposing stablemate Hodd's Girl) boosted the form subsequently; didn't see out 1m strongly when up in trip 12 days ago; warrants consideration back at this trip and he's well handicapped on old turf form.

Nine-time winner in Germany; came to Ireland with an inflated rating and unable to justify it despite running well in a couple of premier handicaps last year; back on soft ground here after failing at Dundalk this year; could well be competitive off this mark and not dismissed.
