Consistent sprint handicapper last year; won off a mark of 91 over C&D on his seasonal debut; raised 11lb for that and took another 8lb rise for beating useful yardstick My Mate Alfie in a Listed race at Naas in April; suited by soft ground. |

Placed on his first five starts, now looks regressive but could feature in this company since he is rated the equal of Cross Border and finished only just behind Never Cry Never when sixth at Navan. |

Clear prospects on his best form but there are several negatives attached to his profile too; beaten favourite on four occasions since a promising debut at the Curragh in May; appears to have lost form, though run was too bad to be true in 6f Curragh maiden in which Nouvel Espoir was third. |

Good debut run here a year ago for Johnny Murtagh hasn't been reproduced in just three starts since, mildly encouraging first run for current yard here last month on return from five months absence; tongue tie added to cheekpieces here for handicap debut and respected from good draw and in-form yard. |

Can lead; won two big-field 7f handicaps in Ireland earlier in career and shone on AW for this yard over the winter, winning six times at 6f to 1m; plenty of creditable efforts in defeat on turf since, notably his close second of 23 in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, heavy; acts on good to firm) 13 days ago; bold show likely if in similar form. |
