Seven-time winner (including four at this track); has looked regressive the last couple of years and was beaten out of sight at Naas last month; hopes rest on a return to the AW from a falling mark; wide draw doesn't help. |

In good form since joining current yard, notably good third to Inishmot Prince, not clear run at vital stage when beaten a neck by Collective Power over 6f in steadily-run affair and short of room home turn when third (Inishmot Prince second) back at 5f a week ago; cheekpieces now tried. |
