Twice a winner here at 6f and twice successful over slightly further at Listowel including early this month when running away; 9lb rise however makes this tough and stiff 7f here raises stamina concerns. |

Added his fifth win (third on AW) when winning cosily over 6f here in January off 5lb lower (has won off a mark of 72 before); hampered when attempting to follow up over this C&D next time, finishing a 2.5l fourth; not at his best back on turf at the Curragh last time (heavy); cheekpieces on now and claims if on song. |

9st 4lb |
Three 6f wins on AW this year and he only narrowly failed to improve on a very modest turf strike-rate (now 1-35) when just touched off at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; no serious impact at Catterick (7f) since but ran well in headgear in Ireland and cheekpieces are now refitted. |

Three 6f AW wins this year for new yard and short-headed at Hamilton (5f, good) eight days ago when back on turf; there can be optimism that he will be fine back up to 7f and he's a strong contender. |

Hasn't won for three years and only had two outings last term; fair fourth in race featuring several of these at Navan (6f) in March and kept on well from long way back (missed break) when third over 5f there last weekend; likely to be strong at the finish, but the break will be crucial from gate one. |
