Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap (good) on this card in 2024 and he's just 1lb higher now; solid effort over 1m at Bellewstown latest (soft); should get a strong pace to aim at here and not discounted. |

Three-time course winner over 5f/6f on varying ground; most recent run this term was a step in the right direction (considerately-handled never nearer sixth) and could reverse form with a couple of these with top rider replacing inexperienced 10lb claimer; down to a career-low mark. |
