Durable sort; gained the most recent of his nine wins at Naas a year ago before good third at the Curragh; absent since July and looks to have a bit to find with some of these.

J: Keithen Kennedy

T: John Andrew Kinsella

Can be a threat when he gets his own way up front as seen at Naas last month and gave it another good go over extended 6f here behind Saturn Seven 24 days ago; up 2lb but there's not a lot of pace in this and he's one for the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Two of his three wins have come over C&D but his best recent form has been over 6f, including when runner-up last time; lost his place early over this trip two starts ago; needs to be sharper.

Curragh 5f maiden winner as a 2yo returned to form when dropped in the weights and back to this trip with a comfortable score last time; raised 9lb for that but looks a real minimum trip specialist and could take catching.
