Front-runner back to form this summer off reduced mark, winning at Roscommon and most recently seasonal-best when dominating from some way out in beating a well-backed favourite over this trip at Leopardstown last week from an unfavourable draw; could take some beating again here. |

Won twice at this venue for Joseph O'Brien early in his career (2019 and 2020); absent throughout 2023 and 2024; did well on his reappearance over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton last month, ran prominently all the way and beat all bar the favourite; strong contender if replicating that form. |
