Dual-purpose; has won three of his last four, two over hurdles and on the Flat at Gowran on latest; raised 11lb for his latest win over timber at Naas (18.5f, heavy) in January; this is harder but he did that easily and he is ground versatile; player.

Seen mostly over jumps in his Irish days; getting hampered at the start prevented his usual prominent ride on penultimate outing but he's otherwise swept all before him for new yard this year, including when returned to turf for eight-runner race at Musselburgh (2m, good) 12 days ago; has 3lb penalty (the same as he's due to go up anyway) but wide draw is the chief worry.
