Two wins on AW; gained a first turf success at Leopardstown in June and was holding his form until a below-par run at Cork; back in good shape with a second placing in an amateur contest at the Curragh last time; third-placed Nunc Est Bidendum never got into it, but it may be close between the pair now.
