Touched off in the Listed Committed Stakes at Navan in April; beaten favourite twice since, although Mehmar did frank the form of his last effort in a Naas handicap on Monday; gelded since his last run and blinkers tried here; should pick these up and carry them on ratings.

Quite useful on turf in Ireland; kept almost entirely to AW since moving to this yard in the autumn but he might well have been involved in the finish at Leicester (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago but for being pushed nearly over the rail a furlong out; interesting to see what he comes up with here.
