An 11-time winner, 6-37 on turf, including three over C&D; winning favourite in a six-runner contest last month, supplementing three Dundalk wins gained in the opening months of the year; 5lb higher than last time, but still 5lb below AW mark.

Form & Verdict
Six wins to his credit but deeply frustrating for his current trainer, no more so than when closing to a half-length here last week after yet another slow start; good draw here for a hold-up horse and off this mark he should be thereabouts.
