Form & Verdict
Refitting blinkers sparked a return to form last month with 6f handicap wins at Listowel and Fairyhouse; well held in much more competitive Buckingham Palace Stakes at Ascot later same month however; 7f on soft ground could prove too much of a stamina test here.

Without a win in nearly two years although some solid efforts in defeat this term, notably Leopardstown Group 3 third over this trip, ground plenty quick on latest; headgear combination tried for the first time; ground-versatile and has his chance.

As usual, he was held up before breezing through the field to win the Balmoral Handicap over 1m here last October (soft; 4lb lower); needs to put this season's performances behind him but arrives here fresh and rain would heighten interest.

Held up; excellent 2024 in handicaps on varied ground culminated in his Balmoral triumph at Ascot (1m, soft) in October; never having raced beyond 1m asks a question but he saw it out well that day and has a form chance if putting this month's reappearance (18-1 in Listed race) well behind him.

Shaped well in a few top handicaps prior to deservedly landing a big pot in the Balmoral at Ascot (1m, soft) last October; whether his hold-up style lends itself to a Listed race around here remains to be seen but he's a big player on form if ready to roll after nine months off.
