Consistent sprint handicapper last year; won off a mark of 91 over C&D on his seasonal debut; raised 11lb for that and took another 8lb rise for beating useful yardstick My Mate Alfie in a Listed race at Naas in April; suited by soft ground. |

Placed on his first five starts, now looks regressive but could feature in this company since he is rated the equal of Cross Border and finished only just behind Never Cry Never when sixth at Navan. |

Clear prospects on his best form but there are several negatives attached to his profile too; beaten favourite on four occasions since a promising debut at the Curragh in May; appears to have lost form, though run was too bad to be true in 6f Curragh maiden in which Nouvel Espoir was third. |

Good debut run here a year ago for Johnny Murtagh hasn't been reproduced in just three starts since, mildly encouraging first run for current yard here last month on return from five months absence; tongue tie added to cheekpieces here for handicap debut and respected from good draw and in-form yard. |

0-31 on turf but he acted perfectly well on the surface in Ireland; first two AW wins for this yard came over 7f but he wasn't bothered by the return to 6f when winning at Wolverhampton 19 days ago; this stiff 6f should suit fine; solid chance. |
