Form & Verdict
Was approx 7l behind the brilliant City Of Troy in a Curragh maiden last summer before going close over 1m at this venue; the winner was twice placed in Group 2 events subsequently; a repeat of that form will see him go close; should stay this trip.

Still a maiden and isn't particularly solid on his form (Flat/hurdles) for current yard; first-time blinkers need to make a difference.

Front-runner; bounced back from a poor show at Royal Ascot to be beaten a neck in 12.5f handicaps at Galway and Gowran Park, rallying strongly, before his fair sixth of nine at Listowel when trying 1m6f; all those were under 7lb claimer; just four ran at Gowran but he could be on a good mark.

Gained a breakthrough victory at Kempton (2m) last April but he was largely below par after for Nigel Hawke, only tenth in 2m Uttoxeter handicap hurdle last July; returns after eight months off for a yard well among the winners, though, so no surprise to see him play a more prominent role.
