Three-time Dundalk winner who left behind a couple of below-par efforts back to Polytrack over C&D last week, when losing out on the nod from a wide stall; another furlong is perhaps optimal but a strongly run race over this trip is fine.

Good record on AW at Dundalk when trained in Ireland; made successful stable debut at Doncaster but below that level since; this would be easier than of late but he's drawn wide and others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Former C&D Group 3 winner, took advantage of reduced mark over 1m4f here last time, beating good current yardstick Firstman, with today's rival Dalvey beaten roughly 4l in third; up 6lb for that, every chance he can follow up; has twice won back-to-back in a 43-race career that has yielded 11 wins.
