Four-time course winner (three C&D); won here on last season's return from 4lb higher and has the benefit of a recent AW run this time; excuse when 7th on AW latest (blindfold off late) and could go well back here despite his advancing years.

Fine stalwart has won eight races, including seasonal return at Naas in March (7f, soft-to-heavy); below best of late but reduced mark now and soft ground so could improve on recent form.

Form & Verdict
Last two runs have been over 7f, including fifth behind Verhoyen at this venue; this trip possibly suits better and not without a chance; 7lb claimer takes the sting out of his 2lb disadvantage.
