Form & Verdict
Took advantage of a low draw when making all to win the Ahonoora at the Galway festival (7f, heavy) last month, with several of today's rivals behind; ran far too freely and didn't handle the track when disappointing at Chester since and will get plenty of competition for the lead.

Went close twice in a row (1m/7f, good/yielding) prior to making all big-field handicap at this month's Galway festival (7f, heavy); this track should suit his prominent style and he could make a bold bid.

Off the mark on turf over 7f on good to firm ground at Gowran Park last month off 84; handicapper left his mark alone but he has to contend with a wide draw and an extra furlong here and this front-runner could face competition for the lead; others are preferred.
