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.

An infrequent winner but he's run many good races on this track to go with his 7f win in late 2024; another sound effort when going close over this C&D on Wednesday and he shouldn't be far away.
