Form & Verdict
Third reserve; AW winner in Britain yet to win in Ireland, although one of his better efforts at Killarney last time, staying on after slow start; on a decent enough mark so don't rule out if getting a run.

9-32 at Dundalk, but just 1-28 on turf; followed up a third-place finish at Cork (1m, good to yielding) by filling the same spot at the Curragh (7f, good), hampered before running on late; on a nice mark if putting it all together.

Recorded his ninth AW win over 1m in November but held of late on same surface; runner-up in this race last year off 7lb higher so demands plenty of respect.
