Standout piece of form when staying-on third in valuable Birdcatcher Nursery at Naas last autumn (heavy); comeback run over same C&D in April was disappointing however and now faces much quicker conditions although longer trip will suit.

Not beaten far when fourth of five in recent 5f race won by Savannah Smiles (heavy ground) but is effectively on the same mark from 2lb out of the weights today and has very modest 1-33 strike-rate.

Has the ability to win a race of this nature but can flatter to deceive and boasts a strike-rate of just one win from 32 starts; good effort at Wolverhampton six weeks ago but perhaps better on Tapeta nowadays.

A few near-misses over C&D off higher marks since coming over from Ireland and didn't run badly on turf last time, when done for toe over 5f back from a break; wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up despite the wide stall.

Progressive this term, notably on better ground over this trip when third at Cork and when decisively landing a competitive Gowran contest last month from Rathbranchurch; well suited by a sound surface and 9lb rise may not prevent a big run here.
