9st 3lb |
Bagged a notable pay cheque in a sales race at Naas (6f, soft; first win under similar conditions) but now has to bounce back from a modest run at Newmarket when conditions were easier than the official good to firm (ground was changed to good after heavy rain); has a bit to find even on his Irish form. |

It's hard to be confident on the back of his heavy nursery debut defeat here (6f, good to firm) in August but he showed considerable promise previously, when runner-up in both a Carlisle novice (6f, good to firm) and a Naas sales race (6f, soft); 7f could suit and no surprise to see a big run. |

Top rated in here at 107; running well in higher grades on his last few starts; his last try in Listed company resulted in victory at the Curragh (1m, soft); was only beaten 3.5l in a Group 2 on latest and he has to hold big claims here if handling the surface on AW debut. |
