Won the Irish Lincoln last season; attempted to bring off the double at Doncaster and produced a fine effort to finish third of 22 behind Godwinson; has failed to prosper since third to Dunum in this last year; however, he is 8lb lower now and should be at peak fitness after a Curragh prep-run in a race dominated by Pierre Royal and Booyea.

Dual winner on a sound surface when trained by Donnacha O'Brien; consistent enough in defeat since joining this yard, although tends to leave it too late before getting involved; drop back to 7f probably not ideal but handicapper's grip is softening.

In fine form last summer, scoring at Ffos Las (1m) and signing off with an excellent second over 1m2f here; set a lot to do on his return from eight months off when tenth in 7f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; should strip sharper now and he's very much one to consider back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
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.
