9st 3lb

J: Gary Carroll

T: Kieran P Cotter

Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Tipperary (5f Listed) in July, beating Alabama, but has failed to repeat that form; chance partly depends on whether he's revitalised by new headgear.

Beat Alabama a neck in a Tipperary listed in July (second win at that track) but has been below that twice since and is unlikely to confirm form with that rival giving 3lb.

Tipperary maiden winner in April repeated the dose when edging out Alabama in a Listed contest there early last month; found the test of the Super Sprint at Newbury beyond him last time but likely to fare better back in slightly calmer waters.

Won twice on the AW in February 2024, including over C&D; without a win since but he ran well when runner-up behind Let's Go Hugo at Wolverhampton on first start for 177 days; may come on for that and he could go well.

Ought to have coped much better with the good to soft turf when down the field at Ayr (6f) three weeks ago but ran on well for second behind a next-time-out winner over C&D on stable debut in July and has good claims if judged on that performance.
