Has performed well on the AW more than once, placing here three times (5f/6f) last year; ran well when fifth in a hot 5f Curragh handicap latest; looks set to run his race again but he is becoming expensive to follow.

Second runner for yard; didn't show much in first two runs but much more like it when a 2.5l second at Gowran (7f, good) last time when she had a couple of these behind; 68-rated filly looks the stable first string on jockey bookings and she makes the shortlist.
