Three bumper starts; well beaten in testing ground on debut but much better on a sound surface at Killarney and Wexford since; latter run was over 2m4f and might have stretched him, so the drop in trip should be fine; big player.

Returned from layoff with two poor performances last month but his fourth behind Red Panda at Worcester (2m7f, good) three weeks ago was much more encouraging and he's now 4lb lower than for last year's 3m Perth win; big player if first-time cheekpieces help him to build on that recent effort.
