Gained fourth win of career on latest at Down Royal (5f, soft); effective on quicker ground so conditions no concern and has gone well here before but a 6lb rise makes things tougher (never won off a mark this high). |

On the go since June of last year; two wins in 2026, over 6f at Dundalk in March and over 6f at Fairyhouse (good) in June and runs off last winning mark; last couple of runs not his best, however, and others arrive in better form. |

7-26 on AW but 0-18 on turf; benefits from ease in grade today, but this summer's 5f form has been underwhelming and that is his usual trip. |

0-17 on turf as opposed to 7-26 on AW and unplaced on grass on his two starts this summer; however, he gave it a good go from the front at Chester (5f, good) last time when he used up lots of energy early from his wide draw, and he could be a serious force from the inside berth today. |
