Emerged from a short break for second career win when made plenty of use of in Roscommon conditions event over this trip 13 days ago, clear of remainder in just holding off a strong favourite on soft ground; 10lb rise looks a bit harsh but will appreciate the ground.

Hasn't added to Gowran maiden win of last year, decent efforts twice in conditions events at same venue in June; below best in Curragh handicap latest but can't be ruled out in an open race.

Meets Shiota and Mississippi River on better terms after they finished in front of him at Naas in April; best runs have come at Gowran including when winning a maiden there last October (1m, soft to heavy); returned to that venue last time when a shade disappointing after finishing third of four; appears to be stable second-string.

Wide-margin maiden winner here last October and career-best on returning here early this month in first-time cheekpieces (now replaced by blinkers) in very valuable conditions event over this trip, staying on late to deprive Dignam of third; could have more to offer at this distance.

Wide-margin maiden winner over a furlong shorter on heavy ground at this track on his fifth and final start last season; disappointing on return in the 7f Madrid Handicap (4-1 favourite) at Naas; more like it when fourth over 1m at the same venue last time; trip should suit; cheekpieces fitted; others better suited by the race conditions.
