Very best turf form has come with a bit more cut in the ground than what is likely here and he didn't beat a rival on soft at Tipperary when last seen last month.

Showed some useful form as a three-year-old for Eoin Doyle, including when landing a 6f maiden at Naas in November; returned from 150 days off when eighth of 12 in 7f Leopardstown handicap in April; dropped 3lb for that and starts out for new handler who does well with recruits; down in trip; acts on heavy going.

0-9 for this yard and was never better than midfield at Ayr on last month's return from nearly a year off; entitled to be sharper for the outing but would need to see market support to consider on this belated AW debut with a first-time visor added to his regular tongue-tie.
