9st 6lb |
Winner this year over shorter at Dundalk and Fairyhouse and better again over 1m1f at Leopardstown six days ago when beaten a neck off this mark in 22-runner contest, having had every chance; not at best on only previous attempt at this longer trip so bit to prove. |

Winner of two of his five starts since April; possibly unsuited by the 1m4f trip at Fairyhouse on latest; this trip is probably closer to his optimum. |

Four-time winner with two of those coming here, including last week (1m2f, good) when keeping on well to win off 6lb lower under today's rider; tries this trip for the first time and should be competitive. |

Went close over C&D in March on stable debut and another good run when fourth at Musselburgh (1m) next time; below par at York on his last two starts but he tackled 1m2f last time and is not ruled out back down to 1m. |
