Gained fourth win of his career at Down Royal (5f, soft) last month; solid overall form this season; close fourth behind Sovereign Cry at Naas two weeks ago, form boosted by the third when scoring at Leopardstown on Thursday. |

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). |

He has made giant strides for this yard, winning four handicaps since August (two over C&D); solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts but Alondra scooted past him here 24 days ago and he will need to raise his game a level to resume winning ways. |
