Won over this trip at Sligo earlier in the summer (good) and consistent in defeat since, notably narrow loss on the Flat at the Curragh and most recently second over 2m5f at Sligo on soft, just outstayed late on under a patient ride; drop in trip here to suit and likely major player off just 1lb higher.

A tame effort at Galway on Sunday where the testing ground wouldn't have been to blame but was in fine form Flat and jumps prior to that and his two career wins have come here; won over 2m2f in June and stays 2m on the level so should get the trip.
