Hat-trick of wins here this winter, including two over C&D; upped 19lb for those wins and never counted when favourite in conditions event before okay effort in C&D handicap two weeks ago; has a bit to find on these terms.

One of two for trainer; in fantastic form since joining this yard, winning his last three handicap races here; won over 1m in November, and again in December when beating Carolina Jetstream by 1l; dropped back to C&D last time when seeing off Big Gossey by 1.25l; worse off with that rival now but likely to put in a bold show once again.

Group 2 entrant beaten less than a length both starts, including over 1m at the Curragh last time when met traffic before staying on well; drop back to 7f not sure to suit and will probably need to be ridden more forward, but that's no bad thing around here.

Beat Donna Nook over C&D in May when rated 1lb higher; put a couple of lesser efforts behind him when chasing home Runninsonofagun here last week; 7lb better off for 2l defeat so has a handicapping chance; new visor replaces cheekpieces; others still more appealing.

Just held on to score over C&D (good to firm) in May and looked unlucky at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) two starts ago (persistently denied clear run) but has become rather inconsistent and it's hard to predict whether the first-time cheekpieces will get the best out out him.
