J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Group 3/Listed winner with best form on heavy ground; needs to bounce back from indifferent Gowran run, when Improvista and Azada finished in front of her; may have needed that on first run since Group 2 second at the Curragh in May; first-time cheekpieces; any further easing would help.

Form & Verdict
Has won two of his four races at this venue, but could manage only fifth in this race a year ago; best form last season in winning the Group Amethyst Stakes over C&D in May on soft-to-heavy; suited by testing conditions but below his best on final start in a Cork Listed race in which Lord Massusus as fourth.

Winner of seven of his 25 races; gained most recent of five stakes wins on his favoured soft ground at Tipperary last October; has had a break since respectable seasonal return in the Gladness Stakes in March; stakes performer dropping back into handicap so has to be respected but wants softer ground.

Confirmed his liking for this venue when winning a Listed race here last season (Mutasarref a neck behind), his second C&D win; improving for each outing this season and should run his race but a rating of 99 leaves him with a fair amount to find with a few of these rivals.

Entering legendary course specialist status after adding a tenth win at the venue in a Listed race last time (6f, good); prior to that he won a C&D Listed contest in March (soft to heavy) when seeing off East Hampton by 1.5l; got closest to subsequent Group 1 winner Comanche Brave when a 2l second in a 6f Group 2 here on penultimate (good); always a danger around here and should go well again.
