In good form since joining current yard, bolting up in Punchestown handicap hurdle last month and fortnight later backed it up with Down Royal flat win over 1m5f (beating a well-backed favourite), first run on the level in nearly four years when scoring with a bit in hand; 7lb rise seems okay and major player.

A winner of ten races over hurdles and on the Flat; scored in the Cork Derby (1m4f, soft) on most recent start in this sphere; just 4lb higher now, handles better ground and has run well over hurdles here before; okay run over fences latest and can't discount back on the level.

T: John Joseph Murphy

Sole win came over this sort of trip at Killarney in August 2023; running well in defeat from this sort of mark at the end of 2024 and may have needed this month's return at Tipperary; some rain would be in his favour.
