Form & Verdict
Only win came on turf at two but this is his best surface and thrice runner-up over C&D, including to a well-handicapped filly in last year's renewal; last couple of AW runs were poor after which he was gelded; sharper for recent Curragh outing after four months off.

Form & Verdict
In and out but very capable on his day, as when landing Group 3 at Newbury last year; in common with several of these, was down the field at the Curragh on Derby weekend but had impressed when beating Arnhem at Navan in June; the problem is that his AW form (in three attempts) is modest and handicapper makes him a 10lb better horse on the grass.
