Has had a gelding operation since his 2.5l C&D fourth behind Ameerat Jumaira 43 days ago from 2lb out of the handicap; that form has been franked by the winner and runner up since and he races off a 5lb lower mark here; has to be considered.

Leopardstown maiden winner; easy to back on handicap debut at the Curragh and from off the pace he lacked the gears to land much of a blow (1m1f, yielding); going up in trip should help although 2lb wrong.
