Won this in 2024 off 4lb higher, his last win; well beaten in repeat bid last season but then chased home Slieve Binnian in hot handicap at Leopardstown; not a bad run on seasonal return at Naas and soft wouldn't have suited on latest; could go well back on faster ground if the new blinkers provide a spark.

Best run last year when second in valuable C&D handicap (good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces off 90; form regressed afterwards but encouraging seasonal return (well-backed) at Naas last month over 1m; down in grade here off a fair mark so one to consider.

Best runs last year came in a valuable Leopardstown handicap (1m1f, good to firm) when second in first-time cheekpieces, and when a close sixth at the Curragh next time in the same headgear; form regressed when headgear left off in two runs afterwards and it doesn't appear here.

His four wins include a premier handicap over 1m here in 2024; some good runs in defeat this year including in the Cambridgeshire here; might not have stayed 1m2f last time.

Last win came in a valuable 1m handicap here last summer but back to form off reduced mark when second over 1m1f at Leopardstown in first-time cheekpieces; good run since in Irish Cambridgeshire here when under 2l off Jagged Edge, having raced keenly; will need to settle better to see this out (cheekpieces left off).
